Interference in early dual-task learning by predatory mites
Animal Behaviour, 2017 Animals are commonly exposed to multiple environmental stimuli, but whether, and under which circumstances, they can attend to multiple stimuli in multitask learning challenges is elusive. Here, we assessed whether simultaneously occurring chemosensory stimuli interfere with each other in a dual-task learning challenge.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Most studies of sex‐biased genes explore their evolution in familiar chromosomal sex determination systems, leaving the evolution of sex differences under alternative reproductive systems unknown. Here we explore the system of paternal genome elimination employed by mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) which have no sex chromosomes.

Active predators do not necessarily specialize in sedentary prey: A simulation model
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.Active predators, which move to find food, are assumed to specialize in sedentary prey. This study used an individual‐based simulation to test whether this assumption holds. The results show that active predators do not always specialize in sedentary prey; instead, prey choice greatly depends on prey spatial pattern and competition with ambush ...

A Modest Conception of Moral Right & Wrong
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Taking inspiration from Hume, I advance a conception of the part of morality concerned with right and wrong, rooted in the actual moral rules established and followed within our society.

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...
