DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9311
Abstract: Abstract Pollinating insects are decreasing worldwide in abundance, biomass, and species richness, affecting the plants that rely on pollinators for fruit production and seed set. Insects are often sensitive to high temperatures. The projected temperature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15538362.2021.1892011
Abstract: ABSTRACT Old fig trees produce weak leaves, thin and short shoots, followed by low fruit quality under rainfed conditions. One of the strategies to confront with weak growth is severe pruning in rainfed fig trees.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12202
Abstract: The ecology, diversity, and parasitoid complex of plant–sap feeding insects of the family Homotomidae (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) specialised on fig trees (Ficus) have so far received little research attention. They are ecologically important, however, as occasional… read more here.
