Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management
FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season. In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...

Reversed impacts by specialist parasitoids and generalist predators may explain a phase lag in moth cycles : a novel hypothesis and preliminary field tests [PDF]
Among cyclic populations of herbivores, inter-specific temporal synchrony has been attributed to both climatic factors and trophic interactions. In northern Europe, winter and autumnal moths undergo regular 9–11 year population cycles.

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Global impacts of exotic eucalypt plantations on wildlife
ABSTRACT The establishment of exotic tree plantations poses a pervasive threat to wildlife across the globe. Among the most important tree species used for forestry purposes worldwide are members of the genus Eucalyptus, which have now been established in at least 107 countries outside of their native range.
