Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Combined effects of the landscape and crop management on ant communities

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At small spatial scales, agricultural management acts as a stronger ecological filter than landscape context, significantly shaping ant community composition. Species richness and frequency did not differ among treatments, indicating the predominance of generalist species.

Pro‐environment behaviors, invasive plant management, and the gap between motivations for behavioral intention and action

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Invasive plant species pose significant challenges to natural resources and communities around the world. However, invasive plant management may require different motivations than other pro‐environmental behaviors because mitigation of invasive plants often comes at high individual cost, has limited effectiveness when undertaken in isolation, and ...

Biology of the Gall Midge Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of the Invasive Grass Cortaderia selloana

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

Assessing Predator Activity on Clay Models in Response to Common Insecticides in Turfgrass

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insecticides exhibited clear but time‐dependent effects on predatory activity, as reflected by impression types and density on clay models in turfgrass. Certain insecticides (bifenthrin, and in some cases acephate + imidacloprid, imidacloprid, chlorantraniliprole, and tetraniliprole) reduced total impressions shortly after application and again later ...
