Regional adaptation of integrated pest management to control invasive forest insects
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 5, June 2025.Globalization is increasing the threat of invasive forest insects to ecosystems. Control efforts against the same pest species progressively occur across distant jurisdictions as integrated pest management (IPM) programs or tactics developed in one region are adopted by another region.

How urban proximity shapes agricultural pest dynamics: a review
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 2704-2711, June 2025.This review explores how proximity to human settlements affects agricultural pest and pathogen dynamics, highlighting the roles of microclimatic conditions, biological aspects, and management effects. It underscores the need for integrated pest management strategies to address these complex interactions and enhance sustainable agriculture.

Long‐term population dynamics of an insect in a simple food web under a changing environment
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 1294-1306, June 2025.This long‐term population study illustrates the complexity of weather effects on insects and how population variability depends on the form of density dependence. Weak regulation leads to long‐term fluctuations without clear traces on short‐term variation. Responses to even drastic changes can be hard to detect without accurate knowledge of mechanisms.

Pesticide use and large patch size reduce natural pest control potential in vineyards
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1509-1519, June 2025.Our results suggest that the magnitude of natural pest control services can be improved by reducing intensive management practices at the field scale and by promoting greater landscape heterogeneity, for example, by reducing the mean patch size. These findings highlight the potential for promoting ecosystem services and limit pesticide use, thereby ...
