Safe Periods and Safe Activities: Two Phenological Responses to Mortality
Ecology and EvolutionPhenology is often thought to evolve mainly in response to food availability, yet recent studies have focused on predation. Predation may explain apparent mismatches between phenology and resources. One type of phenological response to predation involves

Adult mosquito predation and potential impact on the sterile insect technique
Scientific Reports, 2022 The sterile insect technique is a promising environmentally friendly method for mosquito control. This technique involves releasing laboratory-produced sterile males into a target field site, and its effectiveness may be affected by the extent of adult ...

Evaluating Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program Impact on Crop Indemnities
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The 2018 Farm Bill established the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program (FSCP), which was focused on removing feral hogs and restoring damaged property. We conduct a quasi‐experimental analysis of FSCP on crop damage using crop insurance data and a staggered difference‐in‐difference model.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The enemy‐free space hypothesis (EFSH) contends that generalist predators select for dietary specialization in insect herbivores. At a community level, the EFSH predicts that dietary specialization reduces predation risk, and this pattern has been found ...

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Impacts of Selective Predation on Infection Prevalence and Host Susceptibility
Ecology and EvolutionPredation can alter diverse ecological processes, including host–parasite interactions. Selective predation, whereby predators preferentially feed on certain prey types, can affect prey density and selective pressures.
