Predation by aquatic insects: species traits and habitat structure mediate predator-prey interactions

open access: yes, 2010
In my thesis, I present results of experimental research on selective predation by aquatic insects, specifically on the role of predator and prey body size, microhabitat distribution, and selected behavioural traits on the strength of predator-prey ...

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Rock, paper, pigeon: Exploring speculative ecologies through more‐than‐human play

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract As interactive technologies and playful storytelling increasingly explore posthuman and more‐than‐human perspectives, opportunities emerge to reframe natureculture heritage—as it recognizes that human lives, technologies and societies are always connected with the lives and environments of other species and ecosystems—as intrinsically ...

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Sublethal herbicide exposure alters cotton susceptibility to aphid infestation

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Sublethal herbicide exposure altered cotton susceptibility to aphids. Aphid severity was highest when applications occurred at early vegetative stages and declined as the crop matured. In glasshouse, herbicide effects were dose‐dependent. Abstract BACKGROUND Herbicides remain vital tools for weed control, yet their effects can extend beyond weeds to ...
