Context Maintaining a balance between semi-natural habitats and arable land is not always feasible for farmers. The promotion of biological control agents can be addressed through management at farm or field level, and/or ...
Organic farming promotes diversification strategies to enhance ecological functions. However, early field studies suggested that not all cereal polycultures confer benefits in terms of pest control. Our research involved ...
Cosmopolitan pests such as Brevicoryne brassicae, Lipaphis pseudobrassicae, and Myzus persicae (Aphididae) cause significant damage to Brassicaceae crops. Assessment of the important biotic and abiotic factors that regulate ...
The hitherto unknown oviparous females and apterous males of Brachycolus cucubali (Passerini, 1863), living in pseudogalls on Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke, (1869) (Caryophyllaceae), are described based on material from ...
High-elevation insectivorous birds are currently confronted with the reality of a changing climate, land use shifts, and the decline of many prey groups. The diet dynamics among many imperiled animals in this group are ...
1. Research relating to ecosystem services has increased, partly because of drastic declines in biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. However, the mechanistic linkages between land use, biodiversity and service provision ...
The East-Asian aphid Tinocallis (Tinocallis) zelkowae is recorded for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula on Zelkova serrata (Ulmaceae) in the Viveros Gardens of the city of Valencia (Spain). This is the second record ...
Since the invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus Van Loon, Boomsma & Andrásfalvy, Citation1990 was first detected in 1998 in Seva (Barcelona), and despite the number of amateurs and professionals dedicated to the study of ...
Aphids (Hemiptera, Aphididae) feed on the phloem and some of them induce the formation of conspicuous galls on their primary hosts. Histological studies were proposed to elucidate the evolutionary history of galling habit ...
Differences in the semi-natural vegetation of field margins will affect the biological control services derived from the presence of these semi-natural habitats adjacent to fields. Of the plant functional traits that are ...
