Forest Degradation and Weather Jointly Affect Early‐Life Development in a Tropical Understory Bird

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
More than a decade of field data from Kenya's Taita Hills show that forest degradation and warming jointly shape nestling development in a tropical forest bird. Nestlings in small or degraded forest patches had poorer condition, especially during low rainfall, while intact high‐canopy forests buffered them against drought and heat. Wings and tarsi were

Supermarket Settings and Consumer Behavior: A Systematic Mapping Review and Future Research Avenues

International Journal of Consumer Studies, Volume 50, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Supermarkets and related environments are not just places to buy groceries; they are complex environments filled with diverse stimuli that shape consumer behavior and decision‐making processes. Despite their increasing use as study settings, there remains a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding which supermarket‐type settings are ...

Genetic control of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae

, 2013
The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, (Rossi) (Diptera:Tephritidae), is a key pest of olive crops. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally benign and species-specific method of pest control, aiming to reduce the reproductive potential of a wild population through the mass-release of sterile insects.

Deciphering How Olive Volatiles and Fatty Acids Shape Bactrocera oleae (Rosii) Oviposition Preference Using Multivariate Regression Models

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 254-264, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)), the major pest of olives, primarily recognises visual, olfactory, acoustic, gustatory and tactile signals that regulate its behavioural activity, courtship and reproductive success, as well as the search for ideal conditions for its offspring.

Symbiotic control of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae

, 2018
The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (OLF) is a major pest, which causes severe yield losses and quality decay of olive oil. The widespread use of chemical insecticides to control this pest is a major concern for the resulting environmental impact and food safety issues.

Oviposition-Deterrent Effect of a High-Quality Natural Zeolite on the Olive Fruit Fly Bactrocera oleae, under Different Conditions of Temperature and Relative Humidity

Insects
In recent years, the number of available chemical pesticides has been dramatically reduced, urging the need for the discovery of alternatives to chemical pesticide products such as, among others, natural zeolites (zeolitic rocks).
