Annual flower strips support pollinators and potentially enhance red clover seed yield [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Ecological intensification provides opportunity to increase agricultural productivity while minimizing negative environmental impacts, by supporting ecosystem services such as crop pollination and biological pest control.

On the identity of some weevil species described by Johann Christian Fabricius (1745–1808) in the Museum of Zoology of Copenhagen (Coleoptera, Cucujoidea, Curculionoidea, Tenebrionoidea) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2014
The types of thirty-two nominal weevil species described by Johann Christian Fabricius are reviewed and lecto- and paralectotypes are designated for twenty-two of them. A neotype is designated for Curculio sticticus Fabricius, 1777.

Core and occasional species: A new way forward. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
This paper describes a novel method of dividing ecological communities into species groups based on their relative abundance. It builds on the core–occasional species concept but tackles grouping of species in a completely new, more objective way, with no a priori assumption of the number of groups in a community.

Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from United Kingdom. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2023
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by rooted plants in pots, bundles of bare‐rooted ...

Plant-derived environmental DNA reveals fine-scaled community differentiation in grassland arthropods. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract The loss of plant diversity in grasslands is implicated as one of the main causes of arthropod decline. The loss of a single plant species can have a cascading effect on specialized arthropod species. It is thus critical to expand our understanding of plant–arthropod interactions.

Pollinators, pests and yield—Multiple trade‐offs from insecticide use in a mass‐flowering crop

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 2419-2429, September 2022., 2022
We propose a holistic, conceptual framework to explore trade‐offs between pollinators, pesticides and yield that we believe to be essential for achieving conservation and agronomic goals. This framework applies to all insecticide‐treated mass‐flowering crops (MFCs) and can be adapted to include other ecological processes. Trialling the framework in our

Integrated pest and pollinator management – expanding the concept

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 283-291, June 2021., 2021
The objective of integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) is to co‐manage for pest control and pollination goals. Departing from the well‐established concept of integrated pest management, we include pollinator management in a hierarchical decision support system of management actions. We depict this support system as an IPPM pyramid.

Do plant ploidy and pollinator tongue length interact to cause low seed yield in red clover?

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract The loss of long‐tongued pollinator species and dominance of a few short‐tongued generalist species, related to agricultural intensification in recent decades, may have consequences for the quality, quantity, and stability of yields in insect‐pollinated crops. Interestingly, the changes in pollinator community coincide with an increase in poor

Regulation of the abundance of clover seed weevils, Apion spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in a seed stand of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2013
The clover seed weevils, Apion trifolii and Protapion apricans, members of the genus Apion, are responsible for causing serious economic damage in clover. In 2010-2012, the effectiveness of some insecticides against clover seed weevils in the genus Apion
