How much are you willing to pay to avoid lockdowns? Evidence from the real estate market

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, numerous countries implemented lockdowns. In Victoria, Australia, a unique two‐tier system was employed, segregating areas with a Ring of Steel boundary and imposing additional restrictions within. This study focuses on the impact of lockdowns on housing prices and rents, exploring whether people are ...

Nanocarrier-mediated transdermal delivery of Lmidgf4 dsRNA expedites biological control of locusts by Beauveria bassiana

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Locusts have been a major global agricultural pest that poses a serious threat to crop and livestock production. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) provide an eco-friendly control method; however, their efficacy usually takes slow and is unstable.

The endless invasions: Spatiotemporal patterns of non-native insects in China [PDF]

NeoBiota
Biological invasions have been defined as one striking indicator of the Anthropocene epoch, with more species being translocated beyond their native range by human activities. The inventory of non-native species in a region provides basic information for

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Quarantine is important in restricting the spread of exotic seed-borne tree pathogens in the southern hemisphere [PDF]

, 2002
The lack or destruction of indigenous forests in the southern hemisphere has in some cases led to extensive afforestation with exotic softwoods that subsequently developed into large successful forestry industries.

Understanding trade pathways to target biosecurity surveillance [PDF]

, 2013
Increasing trends in global trade make it extremely difficult to prevent the entry of all potential invasive species (IS). Establishing early detection strategies thus becomes an important part of the continuum used to reduce the introduction of invasive

Where are they now? Establishment and impact reports of bark beetle biocontrol agents with a case study of introduced parasitoids from Southeast Queensland, Australia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Twenty‐four bark beetle biocontrol programmes involving 41 natural enemy introductions are reported globally. A total of 36.6% of agents were established and 9.8% were reported effective, while many agent establishments and impacts often remained unassessed and incomparable across regions.

Global climatic suitability and future distribution of Hypsipyla grandella: Implications for Meliaceae under climate change

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Global climatic suitability of Hypsipyla grandella was predicted using MaxEnt modelling. Current and future climate scenarios indicate shifts in suitable areas worldwide. The results support phytosanitary surveillance and pest management planning under climate change. Abstract Hypsipyla grandella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is one of the main pests
