Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The spotted‐wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a globally invasive and serious pest of numerous soft‐skinned fruit crops. Assessments were made of fumigant and contact toxicities of 12 Myrtaceae plant essential oils (EOs) and their components. For determining the mode of action of major components of active EOs, their activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Eradication of invasive alien species supports the recovery of native biodiversity. A new European Union Regulation introduces obligations to eradicate the most harmful invasive species. However, eradications of charismatic mammals may encounter strong opposition. Considering the case study of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis Gmelin, 1788) in central Italy, we developed ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Controversy has surrounded atrazine owing to its susceptibility to leaching and run‐off, with regular calls for a ban or restrictions on its use. In the context of a decreasing trend in the percentage of US maize using no‐till since 2008, coinciding with the trend of glyphosate‐resistant weeds becoming problematic in the Midwestern United States, we empirically examine how atrazine use ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Kochia (Kochia scoparia L.) is a highly competitive, non‐native weed found throughout the western United States. Flumioxazin and indaziflam are two broad‐spectrum pre‐emergence herbicides that can control kochia in a variety of crop and non‐crop situations; however, under dry conditions, these herbicides sometimes fail to control this important weed. There is very little information de ...

Given the low rainfall and extreme variation in seasonal temperatures in dryland areas of the South Island, the habitats of possums in these areas differ in many respects from those in the rest of New Zealand. We investigated the movements and habitat preferences of ...

Some aminobisphosphonates inhibit the activity of both glutamine synthetase and δ¹‐pyrroline‐5‐carboxylate (P5C) reductase in vitro, but the relevance of the latter in vivo has yet to be proven. This study aimed at demonstrating that these compoun ...

BACKGROUND: The Guatemalan potato tuber moth, Tecia solanivora, has been the most important pest species in Hispanico‐American potato fields since its first record on potatoes in 1956 in Guatemala. This insect pest has been spreading to other parts of the world, including the Canary Islands in Europe. Tuber moth control relies heavily on the use of insecticides, including pyrethroids.

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: As feeding by humans is one of the main food resources to pigeons (Columba livia), there is general agreement that public education that aims to reduce the food base may be the most feasible way to reduce pigeon abundance. However, except for the classic example of Basel, the method has rarely been tested or implemented. We provide results from a 1 year study in the city of Barcelona w ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Antivitamin K anticoagulant (AVK) rodenticides are commonly used to control rodent pests worldwide. They specifically inhibit the VKORC1 enzyme essential for the recycling of vitamin K, and thus prevent blood clotting and cause death by haemorrhage. Numerous mutations or polymorphisms of the Vkorc1 gene were reported in rodents, and some led to resistance to rodenticides. In house mice ...

They are claimed to act as agricultural pests in their native range, and their communal stick nests may damage human infrastructure. Although several monk parakeet populations are present in the Mediterranean Basin and temperate Europe, l ...

Therefore, a 2 year field study was conducted to evaluate the use of alternative control measures (biochemical use) for H. armigera relative to exclusively using chemical insecticides. The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, jasmonic acid and the ...

Abstract:

Most existing models assume a monogenic mechanism governing herbicide resistance evolution. However, growing evidence suggests that herbicide resistance is often inherited in a polygenic or quantitative fashion. Therefore, we constr ...
