Entomologia Generalis: Call for papers for special issue on Agroecological strategies for pest management under global change

Special Issue: Agroecological strategies for pest management under global change

Agricultural production is facing a variety of environmental pressures including climate change and environmental pollution. This is particularly exacerbated in agricultural landscapes which have undergone drastic changes due to agricultural intensification (large-scale mechanized production, heavy reliance on inputs and reduced crop diversity). These global environmental changes act to destabilize biological pest control services; furthermore pest control can no longer rely entirely on chemical insecticides. Ecological regulation of crop pests by natural enemies (biocontrol agents, micro-organisms, etc.) is an important part of integrated pest management (IPM) to reduce crop yield losses to pests.

Keywords: climate change, invasive species, land-use change, global warming, intensive farming, habitat management, conservation biological control, biocontrol agent, macro-BCAs, micro-BCAs, environmentally-friendly IPM tools, agroecological infrastructure, natural-based IPM product
