(Oxford University Press, 2019-08-28)
Neonicotinoids are used to protect citrus trees against pests. Dissipation and persistence of neonicotinoids in pollen and nectar of citrus trees after foliar applications and their potential exposure ...
Analysis of pesticide residues in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) and in corbicular pollen. Exposure in citrus orchard with an integrated pest management system
(Elsevier, 2019-05-28)
In the last years, the honeybee population is facing growing threats such as expansion of pathogens, incorrect use of phytosanitary products and environmental contaminants, loss or fragmentation of ...
Land use alters the abundance of herbivore and predatory insects on crops: the case of alfalfa
(Springer, 2021-06-11)
We assess the effects of changing land use and crop management on alfalfa insect abundance by comparing it in 50 alfalfa fields when they were inserted in landscapes with different proportions of arable ...
Nonreproductive effects are more important than reproductive effects in a host feeding parasitoid
(Nature, 2022-07-06)
When female host feeding parasitoids encounter a potential host, they face a complicated trade-off between either laying an egg for investing in current reproduction or feeding on or killing the host ...
Changes in the distribution and pest risk of stored product insects in Europe due to global warming: Need for pan-European pest monitoring and improved food-safety
(Elsevier, 2022-05-18)
Global warming affects the distribution of stored product pest insects across Europe in a way comparable to field crop and orchard pests. Nevertheless, stored product research has been neglected in ...
Earwig Releases Provide Accumulative Biological Control of the Woolly Apple Aphid over the Years
(MDPI, 2023-11-18)
Nature-based solutions, such as biological control, can strongly contribute to reducing the
