Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2540-2549, December 2023., 2023 Providing sufficient pollen and nectar resources to support wild pollinators over extended periods in agricultural landscapes can contribute to crop pollination and ensure high fruit weight and quality. This can be achieved by restoring natural and semi‐natural areas near crop fields with native, long‐flowering plant species.

Ecological and evolutionary effects of crop diversity decrease yield variability
Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 1242-1253, June 2023., 2023 Results highlight the ecological and evolutionary role of plant interactions in crop mixtures, which can affect yield stability, while also reflecting on the importance of climate and resource availability in modifying the diversity‐stability relationship.

Global coordination of wheat sowing: A possible policy against climate variability
World Food Policy, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 6-27, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Through an analysis of the sowing and harvesting times across all the regions of a tailored‐for‐wheat world geographic partition, we assess the temporal possibility of modifying the acreage of wheat crops in some regions in an attempt to offset the change in production caused by the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the others.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 11, Page 2684-2700, November 2022., 2022 Our results provide important insights into the proximal mechanisms that operate during ontogeny and drive variation in mature plant size in annual herbs. Of the three traits considered (a), seed mass and duration of vegetative growth had the greatest influence on plant size at maturity (b).

Multiple compensatory mutations contribute to the de‐domestication of Iberian weedy rice
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 499-510, September 2022., 2022 Weedy plants are a major constraint on agricultural productivity. Weedy rice, a weedy type of rice, invades rice fields worldwide and is responsible for reductions in rice yields. Studies to date have detected multiple independent weedy rice origins in different parts of the world.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 2386-2397, September 2022., 2022 The implementation of flower strips or maintenance of remnant semi‐natural habitats adjacent to sunflower fields showed context‐dependent effects on pollinator visitation rates and crop yield. In highly simplified agroecosystems, these interventions may be insufficient or may need longer times to produce significant effects.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1226-1237, September 2022., 2022 Animal‐pollinated plants interact with neighbors for both abiotic resources and pollination, but few studies have compared the relative magnitude of these effects, particularly in agroecosystems. This study evaluated the effects of neighboring plants at three vertical strata (herbs, coffee bushes, and canopy trees) on pollen deposition, fertilization ...

Syrian crisis repercussions on the agricultural sector: Case study of wheat, cotton and olives
Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 519-537, June 2020., 2020 Abstract This paper aims to outline the consequences of the Syrian conflict on the land use/cultivated area, yield and production of the main crops: wheat, cotton, and olives. To achieve the study goal secondary data were collected from FAO website. After that the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was applied for the time series ...

Pollination by bats enhances both quality and yield of a major cash crop in Mexico
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 450-459, March 2020., 2020 Our study shows that bats provide a vital ecosystem service by pollinating a crop of major socio‐economic importance, and that consideration of both crop quality and yield are essential to fully understanding the benefits of bat pollination. A reduction of this service would result in a decrease in both the size and quality of the harvest, causing ...
