DOI: 10.1007/s10526-019-09974-w
Abstract: Designing biological control strategies for the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)) by predators requires the study of their biology and effectiveness. In this work, we have studied the relationship between ground beetle activity density… read more here.

Landscape factors driving the spread of the invasive grass, Hymenachne amplexicaulis, among wetlands in a Florida subtropical grazing land

DOI: 10.1017/inp.2020.16
Abstract: Abstract Wetlands embedded in agroecosystems provide vital ecosystem services (i.e., freeze protection, water retention, nutrient cycling, biodiversity support). However, they are particularly susceptible to invasion by nonnative species. West Indian marsh grass [Hymenachne amplexicaulis (Rudge)… read more here.

Influence of local and landscape factors on distributional dynamics: a species-centred, fitness-based approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.1001
Abstract: In spatially structured populations, distributional dynamics are driven by the quantity, connectivity and quality of habitat. Because these drivers are rarely measured directly and simultaneously at relevant scales, information on their relative importance remains unclear.… read more here.

DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v65i1.1827
Abstract: Subterranean termites (Isoptera: Reticulitermes ) are common structural pests, but it is not well known how landscape factors are associated with urban colonization. This study examined patterns of subterranean termite colonization in 13 mid-Missouri residential… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants9030394
Abstract: Green spaces are very important for an urban environment. Trees in cities develop under more stressful conditions and are, therefore, more susceptible to parasite including mistletoe infestation. The aim of this study was to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5335
Abstract: Background Pollinators are well known for the ecosystem services they provide, and while urban areas are generally perceived as low-quality habitat for most wildlife, these cities often support a surprising degree of pollinator diversity. The… read more here.
