Pruning slash drives ambrosia beetle (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) activity in Khaya grandifoliola C.DC.: Slash removal as a preventive management strategy Resíduos de poda aumentam a atividade de besouros da ambrosia (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) em Khaya grandifoliola C.DC.: A remoção dos resíduos como estratégia preventiva de manejo

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Slash retention increased ambrosia beetle activity in Khaya grandifoliola, acting as both breeding substrate and source of attractive volatile cues that promoted localized population buildup. Beetle attacks occurred only near retained slash, while no attacks were recorded in slash‐removal plots, demonstrating that residue removal effectively prevents ...

General equilibrium effects of technical non‐tariff measures: evidence from bilateral trade cost estimates

Economica, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the trade and income effects of regulatory developments concerning standard‐like non‐tariff measures (NTMs) over 2012–2017 combining structural gravity estimates and general equilibrium projections. The trade cost effects of regulatory changes vary at the country‐pair level and across sectors.

First Detailed Record of Jikradia olitoria (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in the Swiss Southern Alps and Evaluation of Its Current Potential as a Vector of 16SrV‐Phytoplasmas

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jikradia olitoria Say is a Nearctic leafhopper that was recently reported in several European countries. Given its role as the vector of phytoplasmas associated with Grapevine Yellows diseases (GYD) in its native range, its presence in European vineyard agroecosystems could represent an important phytosanitary risk.
