Understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental change requires accounting for multiple interacting climatic factors; yet relative humidity is rarely integrated with temperature in trait‐based performance frameworks. Using laboratory experiments and an analytic population growth model, we show that humidity systematically modifies juvenile life ...

Interaction between mealybugs (Pseudococcidae) and coffee plants
Mealybugs, Planococcus citri (Risso) and Planococcus minor (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are able to colonize several plants, among them, coffee (Coffea spp.), where may impair the production of this crop. Despite this diversity of colonizing plants, frequent outbreaks of these mealybugs have been found in certain plants.

When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops
ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...
