Pollination and pest control are two major ecological functions sustaining crop yield. In insect-pollinated crops, previous studies have revealed that...

While abiotic drivers of yields represent important limiting factors to crop productivity, the role of biotic drivers that could be directly managed b...

As part of a research project on the population dynamics of a polyphagous noctuid pest, Helicoverpa armigera, on crops commonly grown in small-scale a...

Conversion of rainforest into agricultural land affects multiple facets of tropical plant diversity. While the effects of tropical land use change and...

Global warming can increase insect pest pressure by enhancing reproductive rates. Whether this translates into yield losses depends on phenological sy...

Large-scale conversion of tropical forests into oil palm monocultures has led to dramatic losses of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. While ecolog...

Hunting and land use change modify native herbivore abundances and cause cascading effects in natural ecosystems. The outcomes for vegetation depend o...

Recent biodiversity declines require action across sectors such as agriculture. The situation is particularly acute for arthropods, a species-rich tax...

Habitat connectivity is important for tropical biodiversity conservation. Expansion of commodity crops, such as oil palm, fragments natural habitat ar...

Palm oil is the most traded vegetable oil worldwide. Production is concentrated in Southeast Asia, where established oil palm plantations dominate the...
