Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE CAMAENIDAE (PULMONATA: STYLOMMATOPHORA: HELICOIDEA) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 1996 The land snail family Camaenidae is defined by the lack of characters, such as dart sac and glands, which are present in related families Although the Camaenidae is regarded as monophyletic, no synapomorphies unite the family It is possible that the Camaenidae is para- or polyphyletic This was investigated using a cladistic analysis of the superfamily ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...
