Data from: Higher avian biodiversity, increased shrub cover, and proximity to continuous forest may reduce pest insect crop loss in small-scale oil palm farming
<p>One of the key ecosystem services offered by avian biodiversity within agricultural landscapes is natural predation. Nonetheless, the current use of biological control agents such as farmland birds in oil palm plantations is relatively limited. The present study aimed to assess the potential roles of avian biodiversity, particularly insectivores which provide natural predation against oil palm herbivorous insects. We also investigated the influence of local- and landscape-scale variables on foliage damage (crown or frond). Our data showed that crown damage decreased with increasing farmland bird richness (overall and insectivore), shrub cover, dried biomass, and elevation, but increased with epiphyte cover, oil palm height, and distance to continuous forest. Frond damage was negatively related to bird richness (overall, insectivore, and non-insectivore) and non-insectivore abundance, elevation, and shrub cover, while increased with insectivorous abundance, epiphyte cover, oil palm height, and distance to continuous forest. We also found that plantations (≥ 50 ha) were more susceptible to foliage damage from pest insects than smallholdings (<50 ha). There was no evidence that indicated the influence of forest patches on foliage damage. Our study highlights the economic value of conserving biodiversity, most notably, farmland birds and continuous forests with respect to biological control of defoliating pests and maintaining yield productivity in oil palm cultivation. Growers, particularly major plantation companies should make oil palm farming more biodiversity-friendly in order to increase the number of biological control agents such as birds.</p>

Data from: Recreational vessel networks reveal potential hot spots for marine pest introduction and spread
<p>Recreational vessels are an important pathway for spreading marine non-indigenous species (NIS) around coastal environments globally. However, most vessels are not tracked, limiting our ability to map their movements and identify locations at greater risk of NIS introductions. Using New Zealand as a case study, we quantified spread and risk patterns of recreational vessel movements, using a web-based survey allowing the more than 1,800 respondents to map significant trips with over 12,000 visits. These vessel routes were used to build a network model representing nationwide recreational vessel movements. Two proxies were used to quantify the risk of introduction of marine NIS: (i) incoming hull length and (ii) cumulative residency periods at sites. There was significant variation in the distances travelled, the destinations they visited, and the duration of their stays. New Zealand's recreational boating network contained 317 destinations with over 4,000 unique connections, concentrated within two distinct areas of the country. Network-based metrics and risk proxies quantified the relative importance of domestic locations as incursion or spreading hubs for NIS. This approach highlighted several areas that pose high relative biosecurity risk within the national network, but are underrepresented within current surveillance programmes. Synthesis and applications. Our study demonstrates how the movement dynamics of recreational vessels can be quantified at a regional scale to inform proactive management. The identification of spreading hubs and locations at particular risk of NIS introductions, enables managers to design risk-based and effective surveillance and monitoring programmes. Our network-based approach to determine the biosecurity implications posed by recreational vessels is transferable to other parts of the world. It enables managers to understand the distribution of risk within an area of interest (e.g., a jurisdiction) and develop optimised approaches for mitigating impact.</p>
Data from: Land consolidation impacts the abundance and richness of natural enemies but not pests in small-holder rice systems
<p>Traditional small-holder agricultural landscapes in southern China are being consolidated to increase mechanization levels in agriculture, but it is unclear how this influences rice arthropod communities in these landscapes. Here, based on a six-year study in 20 rice fields, we evaluated the impact of land consolidation on arthropod communities, crop damage, and rice yield. We also analyzed how effects of land consolidation were moderated by the proportion of large semi-natural habitat patches and insecticide use. We found that, compared to consolidated fields, rice fields in traditional farmlands had a higher abundance and family richness of natural enemies, but a similar abundance of rice pests. Land consolidation did not significantly interact with the proportion of large semi-natural habitat patches or insecticide application, in terms of affecting arthropods. The proportion of semi-natural habitat reduced the negative effect of insecticide application on key rice pests, but no equivalent interaction occurred for natural enemies.</p> <p><em>Syntheses and Applications:</em> Land consolidation can have negative impacts on the abundance and richness of natural enemies, but not pests in small-holder rice systems, and these impacts are independent from insecticide application and proportion of semi-natural habitat in the landscape. We recommend the implementation of agri-environmental measures or re-establishing field margin vegetation during the consolidation process to mitigate these potential negative effects, although trade-off between enhancing crop yields and preserving rice arthropod biodiversity should be considered. We encourage future research to focus on the detailed assessment of the function of linear habitats for a better understanding of the impact of land consolidation.</p>

Paninvasion severity assessment of a U.S. grape pest to disrupt the global wine market
<p class="MsoNormal">Economic impacts from plant pests are often felt at the regional scale, yet some impacts expand to the global scale through the alignment of a pest's invasion potentials. Such globally invasive species (i.e., paninvasives) are like the human pathogens that cause pandemics. Like pandemics, assessing paninvasion risk for an emerging regional pest is key for stakeholders to take early actions that avoid market disruption. <span>Here, we develop </span>the paninvasion severity assessment framework and use it to assess a rapidly spreading regional U.S. grape pest, the spotted lanternfly planthopper (<em>Lycorma delicatula; </em>SLF), to spread and disrupt the global wine market. We found that SLF invasion potentials are aligned globally because important viticultural regions with suitable environments for SLF establishment also heavily trade with invaded U.S. states. If the U.S. acts as an invasive bridgehead, Italy, France, Spain, and other important wine exporters are likely to experience the next SLF introductions. Risk to the global wine market is high unless stakeholders work to reduce SLF invasion potentials in the U.S. and globally.</p>

Pollinators, pests and yield – multiple trade-offs from insecticide use in a mass-flowering crop
<p>Multiple trade-offs are likely to occur between pesticide use, pollinators and yield (via crop flowers) in pollinator-dependent, mass-flowering crops (MFCs), causing potential conflict between conservation and agronomic goals. To date, no studies have looked at both outcomes within the same system, meaning 'win-win solutions' for pollinators and yield can only be inferred.</p> <p>Here, we outline a new framework to explore these trade-offs, using red clover (<em>Trifolium pratense</em>) grown for seed production as an example. Specifically, we address how the insecticide thiacloprid affects densities of seed-eating weevils (<em>Protapion</em> spp.), pollination rates, yield, floral resources and colony dynamics of the key pollinator, <em>Bombus terrestris</em>.</p> <p>Thiacloprid did not affect the amount of nectar provided by, or pollinator visitation to, red clover flowers but did reduce weevil density, correlating to increased yield and gross profit. Colonies of <em>B. terrestris</em> significantly increased their weight and reproductive output in landscapes with (compared to without) red clover, regardless of insecticide use.</p> <p><em>Synthesis and Applications</em>: <span>We propose a holistic, conceptual framework to explore trade-offs between pollinators, pesticides and yield that we believe to be essential for achieving conservation and agronomic goals. This framework </span><span>applies to all insecticide-treated mass-flowering crops (MFCs) and can be adapted to include other ecological processes. Trialling the framework in our study system, we found that our focal insecticide, thiacloprid, improved red clover seed yield with no detected effects on its key pollinator <em>Bombus terrestris</em> and that the presence of red clover in the landscape can benefit pollinator populations.</span></p>

The effects of ants on pest control: a meta-analysis
<p>Dataset and R codes of "The effects of ants on pest control: a meta-analysis" by Anjos et al. (2023).</p> <p>We searched for papers in Web of Science<sup>©</sup> and Scopus<sup>©</sup> databases using all available years up to 31st March 2021. We used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol for paper search (Moher et al., 2000). We used the following key terms in our search: “ant” AND “biological” AND “control”. To complement our dataset, we searched for more studies in recent reviews (Anjos et al., 2021; Diamé et al., 2018; Drummond and Choate, 2011; Offenberg, 2015; Rosumek et al., 2009; Thurman et al., 2019; Trager et al., 2010; van Mele et al., 2008). We selected studies according to two criteria. Studies must have: (i) investigated ant effects on abundance of pests or natural enemies, or effects of ants on plant damage (i.e., damaged leaves or fruit, lost fruit or lost leaf area) or crop yield (i.e., fruit production and fruit biomass); (ii) experimentally evaluated the influence of ants by contrasting ant presence with ant exclusion (e.g., ants have been excluded using physical or chemical barriers) on agrosystems.</p> <p>Our initial search identified 2,682 studies (1207 in Web of Science<sup>©</sup> and 1475 in Scopus<sup>©</sup>) that were potentially appropriate for our review. Of these, 678 were eliminated because they were duplicates and 1953 because they were not about the subject of interest or they were not about studies that compared the ant presence and exclusion protocols (Supporting Information, Fig. S1). Then, after applying our initial inclusion criteria (i, ii), 52 studies from our search remained in our dataset (Supporting Information, Table S1). Overall, these studies provided 857 cases (gathered through effect size estimates) for our analyses</p>
