Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

Community composition, abundance and activity‐density of carabids and staphylinids depend on prey abundance and adjacent habitat even in diverse agricultural landscapes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Carabid and staphylinid communities are shaped by adjacent habitat type, prey availability and landscape context, influencing natural pest control across agricultural landscapes. Abstract BACKGROUND The functioning of agroecosystems depends on key ecosystem processes that deliver ecosystem services, yet agricultural management has increasingly shifted ...

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Dietary restriction induces persistent multigenerational phenotypic effects in Phytoseiulus persimilis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study shows ancestral dietary restriction in Phytoseiulus persimilis produces persistent, sex‐specific, multi‐generational effects on survival and body size, with stronger maternal than paternal lineage influences despite nutritional recovery. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist ...

Predator egg‐induced non‐consumptive effects suppress spider mite survival and reproductive performance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...
