16. Co-developing pest management for organic apple production : combining participatory action research, activity theory, laboratory and field trials in a Swedish context
Sammanfattning : Participatory Action Research (PAR) is an interventionist, action-orientated and transdisciplinary approach to applied research that strives for the collaborative development of any practice together with relevant stakeholders. It enhances the relevance of research to practice by active stakeholder involvement in all research steps, including the spaces in which the practice is conducted, its iterative knowledge construction and the recognition that knowledge exists in practice and is created when attempting to transform reality.

18. Local and landscape-level impacts of agricultural intensification on arthropod communities and their interaction networks
Sammanfattning : Arthropods play a central role in agricultural landscapes being responsible for the delivery of many ecosystem services such as pollination, biological pest control, and nutrient cycling. But the current global decline of arthropods is intensified by habitat modification, loss and fragmentation, pesticide use and other intensive management practices. LÄS MER
19. Plant resistance ecology - the role of resistance in plant-insect mutualisms
Sammanfattning : Global food security is largely dependent on the use of synthetic pesticides for pest control. This extensive reliance on pesticides, however, has promoted widespread loss of insect diversity; thereby jeopardizing the provision of insect ecosystem services like pollination and biological control.

20. Biological control of diamondback moth : the roles of predators, parasitoids and insecticides
Sammanfattning : The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is a serious pest of economically important crucifer crops such as cabbage. The moth has developed resistance to all tested insecticides and further studies on the potential role of factors affecting P. xylostella survival, including natural enemies, are urgently needed.
