Infestation of fruit by conspecific and heterospecific females deters oviposition in two Tephritidae fruit fly species by Liendo, María Clara, Parreño, María Alejandra, Pietrek, Alejandro G., Bouvet, Juan Pedro, Milla, Fabian Horacio, Vera, María Teresa, Cladera, Jorge Luis, Segura, Diego Fernando

“…In laboratory behavioural arenas, females were presented with fruits that had been previously exposed to either conspecific or heterospecific females. Then, we conducted choice and non‐choice assays to compare the response of A. fraterculus and C. capitata females to infested and non‐infested fruits. …”

Maize farmer preferences for intercropping systems to reduce Striga in Malawi by Silberg, T.R., Richardson, R.B., López, M.C.

“…Understanding farmers’ preferences for these attributes generates insights as how to increase adoption of intercropping as a Striga control practice. We use discrete choice experiments to identify the trade-offs which Malawian farmers are willing to accept among the attributes of choice scenarios for Striga control practices. …”

Towards a practical participatory plant-breeding strategy in predominantly self-pollinated crops by Witcombe, John R., Subedi, Madu, Joshi, Krishna D.

“…When a breeding program is based on few crosses. The Choice of parents is crucial; and farmer participatory methods are highly effective in narrowing the choice, Modified bulk-population breeding methods are desirable strategies in the participatory plant breeding of self-pollinating crops when combined with low-cross-number. …”

Late quaternary paleosol records from sutropical (38°S) to tropical (16°S) South America and palaeoclimatic implications by Zech, Wolfgang, Zech, MIchael, Zech, Roland, Peinneman, Néstor, Morras, Hector, Moretti, Lucas Martin, Ogle, Neil, Fucks, M., Kalim, R.M., Schad, P., Glaser, B.

“…Whereas the seasonality during the Late Glacial seems to have been very pronounced, conditions for organic matter production and preservation became much more favourable at “Chasico” and “D4” during the Early Holocene. We suggest that extra-tropical winter precipitation played a more important role than before and than today. …”
