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. Elsewhere, I have argued this approach provides a way of thinking about how we are genuinely “bound in a moral way” to keep our moral obligations that it is ...

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Prey location by the predatory mites Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) under exposure to chlorfenapyr and acequinocyl

Persian Journal of Acarology
Biological control is widely regarded as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to pest management. However, the use of acaricides may occasionally be required as a supplementary measure.

Effect of Acaricides on Predatory Mites, 1996 [PDF]

Arthropod Management Tests, 1997
Abstract This experiment was conducted in a mature ‘Fuji’ orchard in Pateros, WA, with undertree spinner-type sprinklers. A pre-treatment count was used to randomize the treatments among trees with similar mite populations. Three single-tree replicates per treatment were used.

The Interactive Effect of Pesticides, Heat Stress, and Population on the Performance of a Mite Pest, Tetranychus Urticae

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 56-66, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming is a cause for concern and is predicted to diversely affect agricultural systems. One aspect of the predicted effects is the susceptibility of pests to chemical pesticides. It is therefore crucial to study the reaction of pests to different pesticide compounds under different temperatures in order to better predict how those ...

A Modular Cage System Design for Continuous Medium to Large Scale In Vivo Rearing of Predatory Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2014
A new stackable modular system was developed for continuous in vivo production of phytoseiid mites. The system consists of cage units that are filled with lima beans,  Phaseolus lunatus, or red beans, P.

Predatory Mites in Citrus Under Protective Screen

EDIS, 2021
Managing the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), a vector of huanglongbing (HLB), is critical for reducing disease incidence and improving tree health. Growing citrus under screened structures, referred to as citrus under protective screen (CUPS), protects trees from ACP and HLB. CUPS provides an opportunity to produce premium-quality fresh fruit by preventing

Legacies of consecutive summer droughts on soil‐borne plant parasitic protists (Oomycota: Stramenopila and Phytomyxea: Rhizaria) and protistan consumers (Cercozoa: Rhizaria) along an experimental plant diversity gradient

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2010-2024, February 2026.
Summary Increasing frequencies of severe summer droughts and plant diversity loss disrupt ecosystem functioning and stability of European grasslands. Understanding how these factors interact with pathogens is crucial. We investigated the effects of plant diversity and repeated summer drought on soil‐borne parasites within a grassland biodiversity ...

Urban Green Spaces Set the Stage for Rare Interspecific Allopreening Between Crested Caracara (Caracara plancus) and Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Observations in San Antonio, Texas documented rare interspecific allopreening between crested caracaras and black vultures at Phil Hardberger Park. This represents the first recorded instance of such behavior in an urban green space, expanding the known ecological and geographic scope of interspecies social interactions.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...
