Combining single-gene-resistant and pyramided cultivars in agricultural landscape compromises the benefits of pyramiding in most, but not all, productions situations

This study compares resistance management strategies in agriculture, finding that combining single-gene-resistant and pyramided cultivars reduces the effectiveness of pyramiding in most scenarios.

Hierarchizing multi-scale environmental effects on agricultural pest population dynamics: a case study on the annual onset of Bactrocera dorsalis population growth in Senegalese orchards

The paper uses machine learning to identify environmental drivers of Bactrocera dorsalis population dynamics in Senegalese mango orchards, finding humidity and temperature as key factors.

Effects of pathogen sexual reproduction on the evolutionary and epidemiological control provided by deployment strategies for two major resistance genes in agricultural landscapes.

The paper evaluates how pathogen sexual reproduction impacts the effectiveness of resistance gene deployment strategies in agricultural landscapes.

Dynamics of Aedes albopictus invasion. Insights from a spatio-temporal model

The paper develops a spatio-temporal model to predict the expansion of Aedes albopictus and its future distribution under different climate scenarios.

The emergence of a birth-dependent mutation rate in asexuals: causes and consequences

This study shows that in asexual populations, a positive correlation between birth rate and mutation rate emerges naturally, leading to new evolutionary dynamics and trade-offs.

Spatio-temporal point processes as meta-models for population dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes

The paper develops a meta-modelling approach using spatio-temporal point processes to analyze population dynamics in heterogeneous agricultural landscapes, revealing local and global driver effects on pest-predator systems.

More pests but less treatments: ambivalent effect of landscape complexity on Conservation Biological Control

The paper models how landscape complexity affects predator-prey dynamics and pesticide use in agricultural systems, finding that habitat structure influences pest control effectiveness.

A hierarchical Bayesian model to investigate trade-offs between growth and reproduction in a long-lived plant

This paper develops a hierarchical Bayesian model to analyze growth-reproduction trade-offs in Atlas Cedar trees, finding correlations between growth, reproductive bud initiation, and fruit survival that vary with competition levels.

Emerging strains of watermelon mosaic virus in Southeastern France: model-based estimation of the dates and places of introduction

The paper estimates the dates and places of introduction of emerging watermelon mosaic virus strains using a model-based approach applied to spatio-temporal genetic variant data.

When sinks become sources: adaptive colonization in asexuals

This study develops a framework to analyze the establishment of asexual populations in a sink habitat, showing how mutation and immigration rates influence success and timing.
