Evaluation of pseudostem trapping as a control measure against banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Uganda by Gold, C., Okech, S., Nokoe, S.

“…Trapping success appeared to be affected by management levels and immigration from neighbouring farms. Although farmers were convinced that trapping was beneficial, adoption has been low due to resource requirements.…”

“It’s so much more than just sports…” by Sahlström, Emma

“…The practice of public health promotion, as it is dependent on exercise of biopolitics, is challenged by increasing movement of people, exemplified in narratives of immigration and urbanisation. Furthermore, the mentalities invested in the public health discourse entail a care of self, which can be argued to extend not only to the healthy body, but to the community and environments which the body is situated in.…”

Agricultural biodiversity in Southern Brazil: integrating efforts for conservation and use of neglected and underutilized species by Barbieri, R.L., Costa Gomes, J.C., Alercia, A., Padulosi, S.

“…This diversity represents an important cultural heritage, since its use, cultivation and associated knowledge result from the dynamic history of the Brazilian population, including colonisation and immigration by several different ethnicities. Many of these species are sources of genes that convey tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, as a result of the combined action of natural selection and artificial selection by farmers in agricultural systems with low inputs and diverse environmental conditions. …”

Rörelsemönster hos varg i Skandinavien by Björk, Julia

“…The Scandinavian wolf population is still in a recolonizing phase after being completely extinct during the late 1960s’ and due to low immigration of wolves from Finland and Russia the population suffers from inbreeding. …”

Canopy structure in soybean monocultures and soybeansorghum mixtures: impact on aphid (Homoptera: Aphididae) landing rates by Bottenberg, H., Irwin, M.E.

“…The lack of a significant difference may have resulted from immigration of R. maidis alatae from outside the experimental field but inefficient colony suppression may have produced similar results. …”

Seed and pollen dispersal and fine-scale spatial genetic structure of a threatened tree species: Pericopsis elata (HARMS) Meeuwen (Fabaceae) by Angbonda, D.M.A., Monthe, F.K., Bourland, N., Boyemba, F., Hardy, Olivier J.

“…Pollen dispersal was locally more extensive (median distance 260 m), but pollen immigration was not detected, and the selfing rate (54%) appeared particularly high compared to other tropical tree species. …”

Mobility and livestock mortality in communally used pastoral areas: The impact of the 2005-2006 drought on livestock mortality in Maasailand by Nkedianye, D., Leeuw, Jan de, Ogutu, Joseph O., Said, Mohammed Yahya, Saidimu, T.L., Kifugo, S.C., Kaelo, D.S., Reid, Robin S.

“…Two processes might explain this surprisingly high mortality rate. Firstly, the immigration of large numbers of livestock from drought-stricken areas into the highly fragmented Kitengela area increased stocking density, which worsened the shortage of forage and water. …”

Extensive seed and pollen dispersal and assortative mating in the rain forest tree Entandrophragma cylindricum (Meliaceae) inferred from indirect and direct analyses by Monthe, F.K., Hardy, Olivier J., Doucet, J.L., Loo, J., Duminil, J.

“…Seed dispersal was as extensive as pollen dispersal, with a mean dispersal distance in the study plot approaching 600 m, and immigration rates from outside the plot to the central part of the plot reaching 40% for both pollen and seeds. …”

Effet de l'application d'un melange lambda-cyhalothrin (pesticide chimique) et de spores de Metarhizium anisopliae (flavoviride) var. acridum Driver and Milner (biopesticide) appli... by Douro-Kpindou, O.K., Lomer, C., Langewald, J., Togo, T., Sagara, D.

“…The efficacy of lambda‐cyhalothrin reached 80% on the day following application, but declined after 10 days, due probably to immigration of untreated grasshoppers.…”

Factors affecting biological control of cassava mealybug by exotic parasitoids: a ratio dependent supply demand driven model by Gutiérrez, A., Neuenschwander, Peter, Alphen, J. van

“…Among the important findings are: (i) the functional and numerical responses of either parasitoid alone are insufficient to explain the observed dynamics of the mealybug; (ii) rainfall and its enhancement of the fungal pathogen Neozyites fumosa suppress CM numbers sufficiently during the wet season so that the parasitoid E. lopezi, with its efficient search, can regulate CM density at low levels during the dry season; (iii) weather and soil factors (e.g. nitrogen and water) affect plant growth rates directly, and CM size and number dynamics and parasitoid sex ratios indirectly; (iv) the effects of host-size dynamics on sex ratios favour E. lopezi over E. diversicornis; (v) the importance of low rates of parasitoid immigration for the successful regulation of CM is demonstrated; (vi) the higher host-finding capacity of E. lopezi enhances its dominance over E. diversicornis; but (vii) the sway of E. lopezi in cases of multiple parasitism causes the competitive displacement of E. diversicornis from the system during periods when few hosts are available and/or when weather-induced plant stress decreases host size, favouring a stronger male-biased sex ratio in E. diversicornis than in E. lopezi. 3. …”

Along the paths of berry pickers by Wijayarathna, Anudini

“…The results show that both Thai and free/tourist pickers’ roles mainly involve being part of Sweden’s seasonal labour immigration, maximising the efficiency of wild-berry supply within the food system and increasing the financial gain of the Swedish wild-berry industry. …”

Fine‐scale spatial genetic structure, mating, and gene dispersal patterns in Parkia biglobosa populations with different levels of habitat fragmentation by Lompo, Djingdia, Vinceti, Barbara, Konrad, Heino, Duminil, Jérôme, Geburek, Thomas

“…The effective number of pollen donors per tree was high (NEP~ 18–22), as was the pollen immigration rate (from 34 to 74%). Pollen dispersal was characterized by a fat‐tailed distribution with mean estimates exceeding 200 m. …”

Evidence of genetic diversity within Solanum Lycopersicum L. ‘Platense’ landrace and identification of various subpopulations by Cattáneo, Raúl Amado, McCarthy, Andrés Norman, Feingold, Sergio Enrique

“…The 'Platense' tomato landrace is adapted to the local soil and climate of the La Plata horticultural green belt, as a result of the gradual selection of a number of tomato cultivars that were introduced in Argentina towards the end of the nineteenth century following the massive immigration flow, mainly from Europe. In the present study we have evaluated the genetic identity and diversity of this landrace and all its subpopulations registered at the Germplasm Bank of the “La Consulta” Agricultural Experimental Station of INTA. …”
