Evaluation of the effect of agroclimatic variables on the probability and timing of olive fruit fly attack

Frontiers in Plant Science
Agroclimatic variables may affect insect and plant phenology, with unpredictable effects on pest populations and crop losses. Bactrocera oleae Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a specific pest of Olea europaea plants that can cause annual economic losses ...

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Understanding the impact of host plant factors on the oviposition behaviour of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala)

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is an important pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in Europe. The objective of the present study was to gain a better understanding of host plant related factors affecting its oviposition behaviour with the aim of developing new sustainable control strategies.

How much additive mortality is needed to suppress an outbreak?—A neglected question in forest insect pest management

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Outbreak‐prone insects often undergo explosive population growth despite high natural mortality caused by predators, disease, host toxicity and inclement weather. Although contemporary forest pest management focuses on short‐term tree protection, there is increasing interest in developing strategies to directly suppress outbreaks.

Understanding early reproductive failure in turtles and tortoises

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Turtles and tortoises are facing a global extinction crisis, and hatching failure is an increasing problem. In this paper, we synthesize the current literature on fertilization and hatching success in turtles and tortoises, test innovative tools for monitoring fertility and embryo survival rates and describe how these approaches can be adopted by ...

Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...
