Pathways for accidental biocontrol: The human‐mediated dispersal of insect predators and parasitoids

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 8, December 2024.
Abstract Introductions of insect predators and parasitoids for biological control are a key method for pest management. Yet in recent decades, biological control has become more strictly regulated and less frequent. Conversely, the rate of unintentional insect introductions through human activities is rising.

Multi‐method approach to assessing the floral‐visiting insect assemblage of rare, ambophilous plant Baccharis vanessae in Southern California

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
In this study, we compare the accuracy of two different methods of monitoring to assess the insect assemblage of Encinitas Baccharis (Baccharis vanessae): focal observations and video recordings from camera traps. The insect vectors identified were as expected given B. vanessae pollination syndrome.

Vertebrate grazing can mitigate impacts of nutrient addition on plant diversity and insect abundance in a semi‐natural grassland

Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.
Human‐induced nutrient eutrophication is a major threat to grassland biodiversity, because it promotes the dominance of fast‐growing plants. Negative impacts of fertilization on plant biodiversity may be offset by grazing by large vertebrate herbivores.

Debunking wasp pollination: Wasps are comparable to bees in terms of plant interactions, body pollen and single‐visit pollen deposition

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 569-584, August 2024.
We challenged historical assumptions by comparing bees and wasps by (1) their role in a community, (2) body pollen carriage and (3) single‐visit deposition on the plant species complex Solidago canadensis. We found bees and wasps (1) overall visit different plant communities, (2) have comparable body pollen carriage in some families and (3) deposit ...

Extracting secondary data from citizen science images reveals host flower preferences of the Mexican grass‐carrying wasp Isodontia mexicana in its native and introduced ranges

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
This study uses citizen‐scientist photographic records to examine pollinator‐plant interactions of the wasp Isodontia mexicana in its native and introduced range. We use a data sharing method by identifying the plants on iNaturalist images of the wasp using the Pl@ntNet API, a plant species identification application.
