Comparison of thermal thresholds, fecundity, and longevity across three alfalfa weevil strains reveal significant differences. PBDM models explore strain adaptation to native environments and invasive potential across the Holarctic. doi.org/10.1111/afe.12…

Screwworm is managed by releasing millions of sterile males that mate with wild females, yielding non-viable eggs. Given the low average efficacy of sterile screwworm releases (approximately 1.7%), a deeper understanding of screwworm biology is key to tackling this threat.

2. Non-autochthonous cases of myiasis occur in North America and, if the fly reestablishes, climate warming by 2045–2055 will expand the area of favourability and increase the frequency and severity of outbreaks. See: resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mv… 4/n

Capture by design - Seminario di studi, @UniperugiaNews, 23 giugno 2025, Aula Dessau, 9.00-13.30. (PRIN 2022 - State capture and legal polical corruption). ➡️ Con Capture by design facciamo riferimento ad una fase decisionale organizzata strategicamente, tale per cui i relativi esiti (in termini di scelta di una specifica policy) sono in tutto o in parte pre-determinati. Il design può riguardare uno o più tra i seguenti elementi: gli organi decisionali; le procedure; le opzioni effettivamente disponibili alla scelta. Per effetto di tale design, lo spazio discrezionale è condizionato in modo da rendere determinati esiti di policy molto più probabili e altri preclusi (o comunque improbabili). Il design risponde – generalmente – agli imperativi della dottrina neoliberista, volta ad assicurare la prevalenza del mercato (e dei suoi attori) rispetto ad una piena capacità di mediazione dei poteri pubblici ⬅️ Gli studiosi coinvolti sono chiamati a testare, verificare (o anche smentire) questa chiave di lettura, mediante l'analisi di numerosi casi di studio specifici. link per seguire in remoto: clik.now/scalpo Alice Cauduro , Nicola Matteucci, Gloria Pettinari @MatteoFalcone86 Luigi Pianesi Francesco Merenda Maria Giovanna Bosco Giovanni D'Elia @luciopicci @EnricoCarloni

Can biological invasions be modeled at the subspecies level? We developed separate physiologically based demographic models (PBDMs) for three alfalfa weevil populations, showing how invasive strain adaptation to climate change can be tracked effectively. doi.org/10.1111/afe.12…

Why do #agroforestry? Additional income, higher yields, healthier livestock, reduced labor, improved quality of life, and opportunities for leaving a legacy are just some of the reasons why these experienced farmers are incorporating trees and woody shrubs into their farms.

@Savannainst Mimic nature! Spot on 👍 BTW, “working to lay the groundwork for widespread agroforestry in the Midwest US”: that's really something. Thumbs up, @Savannainst
