Low current and future spotted lanternfly suitability in New York wine-growing regions tempers vineyard risk Open
Invasive species disrupt natural and agricultural ecosystems, leading to cascading shifts and economic losses. The spotted lanternfly ( Lycorma delicatula ) has spread rapidly across the northeastern United States, facilitated by its ecolo…

Strip‐cropping legacy enhances potato plant defence responses to aphids via soil‐mediated mechanisms Open
Intensive agriculture often comes at the expense of soil health. A shift towards practices that foster soil health will support yield and defences against pests and diseases. Growing crops in monoculture is the standard in modern agricultu…

Helminths associated with terrestrial slugs in Swedish agricultural fields Open
Slugs are important agricultural pests causing yearly yield losses. However, parasitizing helminths potentially could affect the size of the slug population. Here, a survey of terrestrial slug-parasitic helminths (nematodes and trematodes)…

Cold winters drive consistent and spatially synchronous 8‐year population cycles of cabbage stem flea beetle Open
Population cycles have been observed in mammals as well as insects, but consistent population cycling has rarely been documented in agroecosystems and never for a beetle. We analysed the long‐term population patterns of the cabbage stem fl…

The Potential of Intercropping for Multifunctional Crop Protection in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) Open
Oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus ) is a globally important crop which is increasingly under pressure from pests, pathogens and weeds. We investigated the potential of achieving multifunctional crop protection benefits by intercropping oil…

High agricultural intensity at the landscape scale benefits pests, but low intensity practices at the local scale can mitigate these effects Open
Agricultural production has intensified over the last century both across increasingly homogenized landscapes and at the field level. This study analyzes the effects of land-use intensity at both landscape and local scales on the main inse…
View article: Effects of predation pressure and prey density on short‐term indirect interactions between two prey species that share a common predator
Effects of predation pressure and prey density on short‐term indirect interactions between two prey species that share a common predator Open
1. Generalist predators are important contributors to reliable conservation biological control. Indirect interactions between prey species that share a common generalist predator can influence both community dynamics and the efficacy of bi…

Biotic and abiotic effects on pest management and community structure in agricultural systems Open
This dissertation focuses on three different aspects of the biotic and abiotic effects on pest management and community structure in agricultural systems, at a local level for a specific insect pest, at a landscape level for an insect comm…

Effects of temperature and other environmental factors on the post‐diapause development of walnut husk fly <span> <i>Rhagoletis completa</i> </span> (Diptera: Tephritidae) Open
To more effectively manage walnut husk fly Rhagoletis completa (Diptera: Tephritidae), in California walnut orchards, it is important to understand the factors that affect the timing of adult emergence. In the present study, we examine the…

Sources of Variation in the Adult Flight of Walnut Husk Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae): A Phenology Model for California Walnut Orchards Open
A phenology model of the walnut husk fly, Rhagoletis completa Cresson, was developed to more accurately predict the timing of the flight period and optimize management decisions. A data set of 153 orchard years in which adults were trapped…
