Journal ArticleDOI

Plant viruses alter insect behavior to enhance their spread

TL;DR: It is shown that the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, after acquiring Barley yellow dwarf virus during in vitro feeding, prefers noninfected wheat plants, while noninfective aphids also fed in vitro prefer BYDV-infected plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of lianas on 10 years of tree growth and mortality on Barro Colorado Island, Panama

TL;DR: One of the largest studies ever conducted on lianas is used to confirm the negative effects of lianaas on tree growth and survival over 10 years, and liana infestation of trees was widespread, dynamic and increasing on BCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using Citizen Science Programs to Identify Host Resistance in Pest-Invaded Forests

TL;DR: Involving citizen scientists in programs aimed at identifying rare trees that survive colonization by pests provides a low-cost means of maximizing search efforts across wide geographic regions and may provide an effective supplement to existing management approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional Vector Preference Aids the Spread of Plant Pathogens: Results from a Model

TL;DR: A basic model of disease spread is created, incorporating vector preferences for infected and noninfected plants dependent on whether a vector is inoculative, showing that conditional vector preference can substantially influence plant pathogen spread, with implications for agricultural and natural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

IPM reduces insecticide applications by 95% while maintaining or enhancing crop yields through wild pollinator conservation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a 4-y experiment using commercial-scale fields replicated across multiple sites in the midwestern United States to evaluate the consequences of adopting integrated pest management (IPM) using pest thresholds compared with standard conventional management (CM).
