Abstract Bats are acknowledged as suppliers of essential ecosystem services such insect pest control in agroecosystems. Little is known, however, on how bat assemblages respond to the gradients imposed by anthropogenic landscapes and farming practices these environmental effects translate into changes foraging. In this study, we use cider apple crop northern Spain a model address filtering landscape composition orchard management on, simultaneously, quantitative qualitative characteristics local their foraging activity. For that, carried out acoustic monitoring bats sampled moth abundance across wider range orchards covering different contexts conditions. We found that markedly varied orchards, according mostly but with contrasting assemblage characteristics. Namely, higher levels rural urbanization lower cover seminatural woody habitats around promoted total activity number species/species complexes. However, also altered composition, increasing dominance most abundant species, decreased functional diversity. Additionally, greater tree canopy within Landscape led predictable variations activity, suggesting potential persistence even limited habitat cover. The present study highlights differential responses orchard‐scale conditions, hindering establishment straightforward guidelines. Further analysis relationship between necessary understand can be through agroecosystem.

Rice represents the main staple food for more than half of world's population, playing an essential role in security and economic growth. One major pests affecting this crop is striped rice stem borer moth (Chilo suppressalis), a widespread species found Australasia, Asia southern Europe. Bats are paramount insect consumers their as natural pest controllers agriculture has been increasingly acknowledged, including paddies. In study we quantify, first time Europe, value ecosystem services provided by insectivorous bats suppressors through exclusion experiments plantations Spain. Our design included exclosures that prevented from hunting over some experimental areas, combined with molecular analyses bat guano. By assessing damage levels caused C. supressalis inside outside exclosures, showed impact almost doubled absence (94.5 % increase). We estimated were preventing losses 70 kg per hectare on average, which terms would imply savings 56€/ha. If extrapolate our results to national level, these values could reach up 7.6 tonnes rice, or 6 million euros saved year findings highlight importance implementing management measures favour populations agrosystems part Integrated Pest Management strategies fight harmful insects, thereby increasing yields land productivity sustainable environmentally friendly way.

Abstract As core constituents of healthy diets, fruits are often cultivated in temporally stable and structurally complex ecosystems that harbor high levels biodiversity. However, high-intensity orchard management can lessen the human environmental health benefits fruticulture. In present article, we argue increased emphasis on biological control could contribute to preventative fruit pests, weeds, diseases, resulting pesticide phasedown. Carefully calibrated increase provision ecosystem services by above- belowground biota, improve soil health, store atmospheric carbon. When tactically integrated with agroecological measures, behavior-modifying chemicals, or digital tools, helps conserve pollinator fauna, protect vertebrate communities, vegetation restoration outcomes. Its implementation can, however, give rise scientific social challenges will need be explored. By resolving adoption hurdles for at scale, society enjoy myriad nature-friendly production.

Female mating success for the tortricids codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella, Oriental fruit (OFM), Grapholita molesta, European grape vine (EGVM), Lobesia botrana, and five leafroller (LR) species under various disruption (MD) programs was reviewed at a time when new dual sex lures can provide alternative tools to assess female mating. Previous reliance on passive assessments such as tethering virgin female-baited traps with laboratory moths are odds active trapping methods of wild moths. Additive factors delayed mating, adjustments in behaviors, greater levels natural control may or not contribute apparent MD. Current MD based solely research, economics commercialization require some compromise. The complete pheromone blend is always used. A delay has been reported from field one study suggested that reductions fecundity would likely be minimal. There no evidence works better low population densities. an established technology, but showing density mated females rather high. Efforts improve efficacy ongoing small cadre researchers.

Los murciélagos gozan de una mala reputación por ser animales nocturnos y el desconocimiento su importancia ecológica, al proveedores servicios ecosistémicos que nos benefician. El vampiro común es ellas. Esta especie fitosanitaria debido a puede transmitir la rabia. Por ello, se realizan campañas control las poblaciones vampiro. Se presume esta estrategia, lejosde contribuir disminución casos, ha aumentado. Es necesaria estandarización toma datos para dar seguimiento control. Para rabia humana, desde 2005, no habían registrado casos en país, hasta 2020 2022 presentaron transmitidos perros, gatos murciélagos. Todas especies tienen función ambiente; murciélago excepción, disponibilidad ganado cercanía con los lugares donde este habita, lo conlleva sus aumenten manera importante vuelvan un problema.
