Girdling and summer pruning in apple increase soil respiration
Scientia Horticulturae, 2011 Abstract The root system of plants derives all its energy from photosynthate translocated from the canopy to the root system. Canopy manipulations that alter either the rate of canopy photosynthesis or the translocation of photosynthate are expected to alter dry matter partitioning to the root system.

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

The Influence of Summer Pruning and Cropping on Growth and Fruiting of Apple
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1984 Abstract Trees of apple [ Malus domestica Borkh. cvs. Jonathan/Malling (M) 26] were summer-pruned each August from 1978-1980 by heading all shoots longer than 10 cm, and their response was compared to trees receiving only a light dormant-pruning by thinning-out cuts ...

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

The Effect of Traffic Congestion on Labour Investment Efficiency
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The study examines the effects of headquarters‐city traffic congestion on labour investment efficiency. The results indicate that firms headquartered in congested cities may engage in inefficient labour investment decisions. Further analysis indicates that the inefficiency is associated with both overinvestment and underinvestment in labour ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...
