Significance Decades of research have fostered the now-prevalent assumption that noncrop habitat facilitates better pest suppression by providing shelter and food resources to predators parasitoids crop pests. Based on our analysis largest pest-control database its kind, surrounding farm fields does affect multiple dimensions control, but actual responses pests enemies are highly variable across geographies cropping systems. Because often not enhance biological more information about local...
Summary Climate change has been inducing range shifts for many species as they follow their suitable climate space and further are projected. Whether will be able to colonize regions where conditions become suitable, so‐called ‘new space’, depends on traits habitat fragmentation. By combining bioclimate envelope models with dispersal models, we identified areas the spatial cohesion of ecosystem pattern is expected insufficient allow colonization new space. For each three types, were selected...
Abstract The impact of silver nanoparticles (AgNP; at 0 mg Ag/kg, 1.5 15.4 and 154 Ag/kg soil) nitrate (AgNO 3 ; on earthworms, Lumbricus rubellus , was assessed. A 4‐wk exposure to the highest AgNP treatment reduced growth reproduction compared with control. Silver ) also impaired reproduction, but not as much treatment. Long‐term caused complete juvenile mortality. All treatments induced tissue pathology. Population modeling demonstrated population rates for AgNO treatments, no because...
In this study, a trait-based macroinvertebrate sensitivity modeling tool is presented that provides two main outcomes: (1) it constructs ranking and, subsequently, predictive trait model for each one of diverse set predefined Modes Action (MOAs) and (2) reveals data gaps restrictions, helping with the direction future research. Besides revealing taxonomic patterns species sensitivity, we find there was not genus, family, or class which most sensitive to all MOAs common test taxa were often...

This article presents a framework to diagnose and predict the effects of chemicals, integrating 2 promising tools incorporate more ecology into ecological risk assessment, namely traits-based approaches modeling. Traits-based are used increasingly derive correlations between occurrence species traits chemical exposure from biological monitoring data. assessment can also be in diagnostic way, i.e., identify chemicals probably posing highest risks aquatic ecosystems. The describes how models...
Knowledge of exposure to a wide range chemicals, and the spatio-temporal variability thereof, is urgently needed in context protecting restoring aquatic ecosystems. This paper discusses computational material flow analysis predict occurrence thousands man-made organic chemicals on European scale, based novel temporally spatially resolved modelling framework. The goal was increase understanding pressures by emerging complement surface water monitoring data. ambition provide first step towards...
Estimating the exposure of honeybees to pesticides on a landscape scale requires models their spatial foraging behaviour. For this purpose, we developed mechanistic, energetics-based model for single day nectar in complex mosaics. Net energetic efficiency determined resource patch choice. In one version optimal was selected each hour. another version, recruitment foragers simulated and several patches could be exploited simultaneously. Resource availability changed during due depletion...
Conflicts between farmers and geese are intensifying; yet, it remains unclear how interactions goose population size management regimes affect yield loss economic costs. We investigate the cost-effectiveness of accommodation scaring areas in relation to barnacle (Branta leucopsis) size. use an existing individual-based model foraging nature, accommodation, Friesland, Netherlands, study most cost-effective under varying sizes (i.e., 20 200% current size). Our shows that non-linearly affects...
