DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7502
Abstract: Abstract Phytoplasmas (Mollicutes, Acholeplasmataceae), vector‐borne obligate bacterial plant parasites, infect nearly 1,000 plant species and unknown numbers of insects, mainly leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Deltocephalinae), which play a key role in transmission and epidemiology. Although the plant–phytoplasma–insect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rbe.2018.09.002
Abstract: Abstract The Brazilian Coastal Plain of the Pampa Biome (CPPB), has suffered fragmentation caused by resource extraction and cattle raising. In turn, conservation proposals are needed to prevent the anthropisation of Pampa natural areas. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0376892923000048
Abstract: Summary The anthropogenic spread of disease from captive to wild amphibian populations (referred to as spillover) is linked to global amphibian declines. Disinfecting procedures and protocols exist to mitigate pathogen transmission to and within natural… read more here.

Sugar feeding of parasitoids in an agroecosystem: effects of community composition, habitat and vegetation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Insect Conservation and Diversity"
DOI: 10.1111/icad.12259
Abstract: Sugar from nectar or from honeydew can prolong parasitoids’ lifespan, enhance their fecundity and foraging ability, and thereby increase their pest suppression efficiency. Sugar sources within crop monocultures are considered to be limiting for parasitoids.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.12437
Abstract: Natural areas are often managed for the protection of native species and ecosystems. The presence of non-native species is generally perceived to run counter to these objectives; thus, they are often controlled or tolerated but… read more here.
