Exotic pest insects: another perspective on coffee and conservation
Research on crop systems and biodiversity conservation in the tropics has mainly been concerned with how low to mid intensity agricultural systems can benefit from adjacent natural habitats by receiving ecosystem services from natural biodiversity. One intensively studied crop in this framework is coffee. Positive effects are relatively easy to quantify by comparing coffee yield and by recordin...
متن کاملCoffee Insects: Ecology and Control
Coffee is one of the most important agricultural commodities in the world and is grown in more than 50 countries throughout the tropics. Several insect pests have been reported in coffee, the most important being the coffee leaf miner, the coffee berry borer, and the coffee stem borers. The basic biology of these insects is discussed.
متن کاملOn Scrambling, Another Perspective
We explore the possibility of accounting for scrambling patterns in German using multidimensional grammars. The primary desirable characteristic of this approach is that it employs elementary structures with a single uniform component and combining operations which operate at a single point in the derived structure. As a result, we obtain an analysis that is much closer in spirit to ordinary TA...
متن کاملExotic Forest Insects and Residential Property Values
This paper presents a case study of the economic damages to homeowners in a northern New Jersey community due to an exotic forest insect-the hemlock woolly adelgid. Hedonic property value methods are used to estimate the effect of hemlock health on property values. A statistically significant relationship between hemlock health and residential property values is established. Moreover, there are...
متن کاملLife history perspectives on pest insects: What’s the use?
In his seminal 1954 paper on the ‘population consequences of life history phenomena’, Cole noted that ‘these computations may have practical value in dealing with valuable or noxious species’. In the present paper, the question is asked: ‘is research based on evolutionary perspectives in general, and life history theory specifically, really useful for dealing with insect pests?’ Perhaps such th...
