α-Copaene is a potent repellent against the Asian Citrus Psyllid Diaphorina citri by Rodrigo Facchini Magnani, Haroldo Xavier Linhares Volpe, Rejane Angélica Grigio Luvizotto, Tatiana Aparecida Mulinari, Thiago Trevisoli Agostini, Jairo Kenupp Bastos, Victor Pena Ribeiro, Michele Carmo-Sousa, Nelson Arno Wulff, Leandro Peña, Walter S. Leal

“…There is growing evidence that the push-pull strategy is suitable to partially mitigate HLB by repelling ACP with transgenic plants engineered to produce repellents and attracting the vector to plants with a minimal disease transmission rate. Species that pull ACP away from commercial citrus plants have been identified, and transgenic plants that repel ACP have been developed. …”

Applying multispecies justice in nature-based solutions and urban sustainability planning: Tensions and prospects by Christopher M. Raymond, Pauliina Rautio, Nora Fagerholm, Valtteri A. Aaltonen, Erik Andersson, Danielle Celermajer, Mike Christie, Maria Hällfors, Maria Helena Saari, Himansu Sekhar Mishra, Alex M. Lechner, Melissa Pineda-Pinto, David Schlosberg

“…Abstract While substantial efforts have been made to identify and address issues of environmental justice in urban areas, the question of how to consider and plan for the concerns of humans and other species remains a major challenge. This paper provides a conceptualisation of what 'justice' might mean from a multispecies justice (MSJ) perspective within the contexts of nature-based solutions (NBS) and urban sustainability planning. …”
