Relationship between food quality and body size of common vole in different habitats

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The body size of the common vole in crop fields (alfalfa, rape, cereals) is larger than in less‐cultivated habitats (forests, clearings, set‐aside) and is not related to food quality. Abstract BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between habitat, food and demographic parameters of common vole populations.

Diapause and overwintering of two spruce bark beetle species

Physiological entomology (Print), 2017
Diapause, a strategy to endure unfavourable conditions (e.g. cold winters) is commonly found in ectothermic organisms and is characterized by an arrest of development and reproduction, a reduction of metabolic rate, and an increased resistance to ...

Colonization and spatiotemporal distribution of bruchid pests in lentil and faba bean fields

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study of 104 fields identifies Bruchus signaticornis in lentils and B. rufimanus in faba beans as the sole grain‐damaging species. Their uniform distribution within fields and the strong effect of regulatory factors on larvae and egg survival emphasize the need for species‐specific, phenology‐based and spatially informed integrated pest management

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

Ice Algae-Produced Carbon Is Critical for Overwintering of Antarctic Krill Euphausia superba

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (‘krill’) constitute a fundamental food source for Antarctic seabirds and mammals, and a globally important fisheries resource.

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Colony Size, Rather Than Geographic Origin of Stocks, Predicts Overwintering Success in Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the Northeastern United States

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2018
Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are key pollinators of agricultural crops. However, approximately 30% of managed colonies die each winter in the United States.

Navigating a landscape of contrasting hunting regimes and habitats: red deer responses to risk and resources

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...

Predicting Overwintering of Wheat Stripe Rust in Central and Northwestern China.

Plant Disease, 2019
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Erikss. (Pst), is an important disease of wheat. In China, Pst management has focused on the Gansu region where the pathogen can complete its annual cycle, including oversummering and ...
