Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

A model of aphid‐vectored BYDV highlights the importance of the interaction between aphid and viral genetic and species diversity on the risk presented by crop disease. The modelling framework offers a tool to explore vector–virus–host interactions and both conventional and natural controls in a spatial context.

The endosymbiont Wolbachia promotes homogenisation and delays the microbial community response of the parasitic wasp Asobara japonica after a significant environmental change. This suggests that key microbial taxa can mediate community shifts and has important implications for experimental design in microbial ecology, particularly in translating lab ...

The interaction of soybean plant and the endophytic microorganism Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating a single trifoliate leaf. The effects of this inoculation on the herbivory, larval development, and life traits of Spodoptera frugiperda were measured.

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs
We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.
