Degree of insecticide exposure and access to nectar impact survival of Trissolcus japonicus, a hymenopteran parasitoid, in flowering border strips

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We applied three thiamethoxam spray treatments to buckwheat border strips: control (no nearby spray), drift (adjacent peach trees directly sprayed) and direct spray (buckwheat and peaches directly sprayed). Drift‐treated buckwheat received about 1.4% the amount of thiamethoxam as direct‐spray buckwheat. This amount has no lethal effects on parasitoids,

Cross pathogenicity of Neofusicoccum australe and Neofusicoccum stellenboschiana on grapevine and selected fruit and ornamental trees

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2020
Neofusicoccum australe is one of the most important Botryosphaeriaceae pathogens occurring on fruit and vine crops. This fungus was recently taxonomically reassessed, identifying N. stellenboschiana as a separate species.

Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

Pollinator Dependency and Regional Climate Affect Crop Yield Development Under Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study addresses the question if and how climate change, with rising temperatures and increasing risks of drought events, has affected the yield of entomophilous, that is, insect‐pollinator‐dependent, crops in the past decades. We found weaker yield increases with warming.

Investigating Dietary Polyphenol Intake in the Australian Population: Results From the 2011–12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is a lack of detailed polyphenol intake data collected at the national level, both in Australia and globally. Hence, the aim of this study was to estimate the intake of total polyphenols, polyphenol classes, and polyphenol subclasses in a nationally representative sample of Australians across the lifespan. Methods Polyphenol
