Large-arena field cage releases of a candidate classical biological control agent for spotted wing drosophila suggest low risk to non-target species

M. Lukas Seehausen, Riccardo Valenti, João Fontes, Michela Meier et autres

Abstract Classical biological control, i.e., the introduction of natural enemies from an invasive pest’s area of origin, has been proposed repeatedly to control the spotted wing drosophila Drosophila suzukii in the Americas and in Europe. Results from surveys in Asia and laboratory …

Inflection point in climatic suitability of insect pest species in Europe suggests non‐linear responses to climate change

Marc Grünig, Pierluigi Calanca, Dominique Mazzi, Loïc Pellissier

Climate change and globalization affect the suitable conditions for agricultural crops and insect pests, threatening future food security. It remains unknown whether shifts in species' climatic suitability will be linear or rather non-linear, with crop exposure to pests suddenly increasing when a …
