Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

The Effect of Nitrogen Rates on the Physiological Characteristics of Some Vegetable Crops [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesAs a key macronutrient, nitrogen significantly affects plant physiological processes, growth and yield. Physiological performance and yield potential of tomato and sweet pepper are markedly influenced by nitrogen rates. The effect of nitric fertilization

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We used automated activity monitors to examine how light‐emitting diode illumination affects the daily locomotor activity of the parasitoid biocontrol agent Aphidius matricariae. We compared 4‐ to 20 h broad‐spectrum white (BSW) photoperiods, and 12 h BSW photoperiods extended with an additional 6 h of red‐blue, red‐green‐blue, or BSW light, or no ...

Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to
