This paper reviews and introduces innovative research pertaining to the age-stage, two-sex
life table. The main topics discussed are:(1) Analysis of data involving group-reared life table …

Functional responses are central to predator–prey dynamics and describe how predation
varies with prey abundance. Functional responses often are measured without regard to …

Climate change generally influences all the living world, including insects, so all organisms
cope with these stresses to survive. Temperature rise leads to increased insect pest severity …

Biological control is one of the strategies of pest control which is determined by the
biological fitness and metabolic rates of the predator species used. Temperature and …

Trophic cascades among plants, herbivores, and natural enemies can be affected by
agriculture planting shifts from complex (polyculture) to simple (intensive). Yet, the …

Salinization, as one of the foremost abiotic stresses, is an intensifying problem in many
agroecosystems. Climatic changes, along with altering land use and also salinity of irrigation …

The frequency and magnitude of climate extremes, especially temperature extremes (TE),
are increasing, which are exposing insect populations. However, insect responses to TE are …

Imidacloprid is a widely used insecticide for controlling piercing-sucking pests. However, its
impact on nontarget insects must not be ignored. In this study, we assessed the effects of …

Research was conducted to select chlorantraniliprole and bifenthrin resistant strains of
Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens)(Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) at Bahauddin Zakariya …

Abstract Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) can be correlative or mechanistic, which
have very different assumptions, leading to potentially different estimates of the ecological …
