Exploring the potential of plant volatiles to enhance pest management in sweet pepper plants

, 2023
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) mediate plant-to-plant communication and are received by plants as warning cues to avoid herbivore attacks. Hence, exposure to HIPVs induces a defensive response and enhances plant resistance against phytophagous arthropods and diseases.

Will European Consumers and Stakeholders accept New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) in Food Production? Les consommateurs et les parties prenantes européens accepteront‐ils les nouvelles techniques génomiques (NTG) dans la production alimentaire ? Werden europäische Verbraucher und Interessengruppen neue genomische Verfahren (NGV) in der Lebensmittelproduktion akzeptieren?

EuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) can be an important tool to achieve the goals set out in the European Green Deal like food security, environmental sustainability and climate change adaptation. However, the success of NGT‐derived products in the market depends on their acceptance by consumers and stakeholders.

Reduced-risk insecticides can effectively manage thrips without compromising Orius predation in pepper production

Biological Control
The western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is a key pest in fruiting vegetables worldwide, causing significant yield losses in peppers via feeding on leaves, flowers and fruits.

Approaches to enhancing agrobiodiversity in greenhouse pepper production and their role in integrated pest management

Scientific Works
Agrobiodiversity enhancement is increasingly recognized as a fundamental element of sustainable pest management strategies in greenhouse pepper production systems. Biodiversity provides essential ecosystem services by supporting natural enemy populations, regulating pest dynamics, and increasing system resilience.

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

Identification and life history of aphids associated with chili pepper crops in southwestern Colombia

Universitas Scientiarum, 2020
Viral diseases, transmitted by aphids, are the most limiting problems in chili pepper crops. Understanding the demographic features of these aphids, may thus assist the design of better disease control strategies in chili peppers.

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to
