Studies on the Efficacy of Three Trichoderma atroviride Isolates for Controlling Take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici) in Grasses
(Lincoln University, 2018)Take-all, caused by the fungal pathogen Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt), is an internationally important widespread root disease of cereals and grasses. The disease is suspected as the main cause of the increasing ... -
Asymmetry in reproduction strategies drives evolution of resistance in biological control systems
(Public Library of Science, 2018-12-19)The success of biological control may depend on the control agent co-evolving with its target pest species, precluding the emergence of resistance that often undermines chemical control. However, recent evidence of a decline ... -
Eating at high elevation: An herbivorous beetle from alpine rock outcrops relies on ammonia-absorbing lichens
(Wiley on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2019-01-08)The flightless endemic New Zealand beetle, Protodendrophagus antipodes Thomas 2003 (Coleoptera: Silvanidae: Brontinae: Brontini; Fig. 1a, b), is unique among its tribe of 12 globally distributed genera in exchanging the ... -
Biological control success of a pasture pest: Has its parasitoid lost its functional mojo?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-12-14)Sustainable and integrated pest management often involves insect parasitoids. However, the effectiveness of parasitoids biocontrol has often failed, frequently for obscure reasons. A parasitoid's success is partly due to ... -
Community dynamics can modify the direction of simulated warming effects on crop yield
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-19)Climate change affects agriculture through a range of direct and indirect pathways. These include direct changes to impacts of pests and diseases on crops and indirect effects produced by interactions between organisms. ...
