Ant morphological traits(dry mass,head length,body size and leg length)increased with elevation.Antδ^(13)C increased with elevation,whereasδ15N did not.Antδ^(13)C values correlated positively with soil C:N ratio.Un...
This is the publication No.36 produced within the framework of the project"Assessing and Monitoring the Impacts of Genetically Modified Plants on Agroecosystems(AMIGA)",funded by the European Commission in the Framework Programme 7.THEME[KBBE.2011.3.5-01].
The use of genetically modified varieties tolerant to herbicides(HT varieties)and resistant to insects(Bt varieties)in combination with application of a broad-spectrum herbicide such as glyphosate could be an effectiv...
The efficacy of different combinations of undervine and inter-row treatments for managing a soil-dwelling orthopteran pest, weta (Hemiandrus sp.), in vineyards was investigated over 2 seasons. This insect damages vi...
Selective logging with natural regeneration is advocated as a near-to-nature strategy and has been implemented in many forested systems during the last decades. However, the efficiency of such practices for the mainte...

We compared the ground-dwelling beetle assemblages under four scenarios in which transgenic Bt(Cry 1Ac) cotton(33B),transgenic Bt(Cry 1Ac)+CpTI cotton(SGK321),conventional cotton(33),conventional cotton(Sh...
Studying the ecology of ants can be a powerful tool for conservation, While the effect of logging is mainly investigated by the comparison of species richness and composition, the impact on individual species are ofte...
