Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.

Intra‐ and Interspecific Effects on Spatio‐Temporal Behavior of Common Commensal Rodent Species

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...
