New Publication: Exploring the Hidden Impacts of Agricultural Pest Insects

News

horrocs_et_al_2025A new article relevant to PURPEST’s research scope has just been published:

Horrocks KJ, Romeis J, Collatz J (2025) Environmental impacts of agricultural pest insects: five case studies reveal overlooked impact mechanisms and specify knowledge gaps. NeoBiota 104: 251–279. https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.104.158217

This study provides important insights into the environmental impacts of agricultural pest insects, highlighting overlooked mechanisms and identifying key knowledge gaps. The findings are particularly relevant to PURPEST, as they inform sustainable pest management strategies and contribute to our understanding of ecological interactions in agricultural systems.
