Strawberries: Main Pests and Beneficials in Florida by Silvia I. Rondon, James F. Price, Daniel J. Cantliffe

“…This is the time growers must begin to scout their fields at least once a week to assess the status of pests, such as spider mites, cyclamen mites, lepidopterous larvae, aphids, thrips, and sap beetles. The ability to recognize these pests, their damage, and their natural enemies is important in determining the best control methods for each situation. …”

Do semi-natural habitats enhance overwintering of generalist predators in arable cropping systems? A meta-analysis(Research data gouv) by Paul Bannwart, Antoine Gardarin, Sandrine Petit

“…We performed a meta-analysis to investigate whether SNH are key overwintering sites relatively to adjacent crops, for two abundant and widespread generalist predator groups in agroecosystems: carabid beetles and spiders. We identified a corpus limited to 19 studies and 114 comparisons between SNH (linear or patch) and arable crops (autumn-sown and spring-sown crops) that monitored predators with traps avoiding predator movement during their overwintering. …”

When insect development meets insect succession: Advantages of combining different methods and insect taxa in estimating the post-mortem interval by Szymon Matuszewski, Anna Mądra-Bielewicz

“…The final grand PMI was derived from a developmental estimate based on third instar larvae of Lucilia illustris/L. caesar species group and a successional estimate based on adult Thanatophilus rugosus beetles. By averaging these estimates we got the grand PMI of almost perfect accuracy (1 % relative error, PMI range: 4.39 ± 0.77 days), which is of course an exceptional situation for entomological methods of estimating PMI. …”
