Thermal acclimation and environment drive field dispersal patterns of adult Mediterranean fruit flies

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ambient temperature significantly increased Mediterranean fruit fly recapture rates, demonstrating a strong effect of immediate environmental conditions on field dispersal. Female recaptures were 2.6‐fold higher in orchards containing host plants, whereas male recaptures were unaffected by host presence.

Hyperspectral Imaging for Peach Ripening Assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The present research is focused on the application of artificial vision to peach ripening assessment, avoiding multiplicative and additive effect. Original images were acquired with a hyperspectral camera.

Between Autonomy and Dependency: The Territorialisation of Agroecology in the Colombian Peasant Reserve Zones

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peasant movements employ a spectrum of politico‐economic strategies for territorialising agroecology, ranging from autonomy to (inter)dependency. To substantiate this argument, I draw on qualitative fieldwork and historical analysis to examine the Colombian Peasant Reserve Zone movement's strategies for territorialising agroecology at both the

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Flare-up of oriental fruit moth: Costly outbreak of pest of peach orchards in 1954 resulted in co-operative research in 1955 to develop control program

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1956
An outbreak of Oriental fruit moth— not Oriental fruit fly—caused appreciable crop damage in a small number of peach orchards near Kingsburg during the harvest of 1954.

Effect of thermal acclimation on the tolerance of the peach fruit fly (Bactrocera zonata: Tephritidae) to heat and cold stress

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Biology, 2023
Understanding the thermal biology of insects is of increasing importance for predicting their geographic distribution, particularly in light of current and future global temperature increases. Within the limits set by genetic makeup, thermal tolerance is affected by the physiological conditioning of individuals (e.g., through acclimation).

Pollinators in Blackcurrant Orchards: Complementary Roles of Sown and Spontaneous Flower Strips and Limited Spillover of Small Wild Bees Within Fields

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sowing flower strips and preserving spontaneous flowers are commonly recommended to support pollinators in agricultural landscapes. In nine blackcurrant orchards, these resources played complementary roles: the abundance of small and large wild bees was positively associated with spontaneous flowers, whereas hoverfly abundance was positively associated
