Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

An exotic parasitoid provides an invasional lifeline for native parasitoids
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractThe introduction of an exotic species may alter food webs within the ecosystem and significantly affect the biodiversity of indigenous species at different trophic levels. It has been postulated that recent introduction of the brown marmorated stinkbug (Halyomorpha halys (Stål)) represents an evolutionary trap for native parasitoids, as they ...

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Key pests and their parasitoids on spring and winter oilseed rape in Estonia [PDF]
, 2006 The pests and their hymenopterous parasitoids present in a spring and a winter oilseed rape crop in Estoniawere studied. Meligethes aeneus was themost abundant pest in both crops.

Guidelines for Immunomodulatory Assays of Food Bioactives on Drosophila melanogaster Model
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.Guidelines are proposed for evaluating the immunomodulatory effects of food bioactives in Drosophila melanogaster, involving treatment with bioactives, pathogen preparation, infection routes, and immune response assessment. This model highlights the conserved mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity for studying host‐microbe interactions.

F1000Research, 2018 Background: Parasitic wasps (parasitoids) use volatile organic compounds released by herbivore-infested plants to locate their hosts. Response of parasitoids to plant odors may be plastic and dependent on their physiological state.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Modelling the phenology of the grapevine leafhopper Erasmoneura vulnerata
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study developed and validated a phenological population dynamics model for Erasmoneura vulnerata, integrating field monitoring and literature data to reproduce observed seasonal patterns across multiple sites. Abstract BACKGROUND Erasmoneura vulnerata (Fitch) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is an invasive Nearctic leafhopper that has become a pest of ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Prohydrojasmon (PDJ), an analog of jasmonic acid (JA), was found to induce direct and indirect defenses against herbivores in non-infested plants. To test whether PDJ can be used for pest control in crop production, we conducted experiments in pesticide ...

Contrasting effects of climate warming on hosts and parasitoids: insights from Rocky Mountain aspen leaf miners and their parasitoids [PDF]
Funding: This work was supported by a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship to AAS (DBI-1807694), and a grant from MPG North to HAW & AAS.Because temperature has pervasive effects on biological rates, climate warming may alter the outcomes ...
