Demographic processes that occur at the local level, such as positive density dependence in growth or dispersal, are known to shape population range expansion, notably by linking carrying capacity to invasion speed. As a result of these processes, the advance of an invasion front depends both on populations in the core of the invaded area and...

Abstract Demographic processes that occur at the local level, such as positive density dependence in growth or dispersal, are known to shape population range expansion, notably by linking carrying capacity to invasion speed.

Essential oils (EOs) represent a promising source of biopesticides, given their compositional complexity which bestows them high insect specificity and low risk of inducing resistance. However, their use in agriculture remains limited by their rapid degradation, limited duration of effect and non-target toxicity. These issues largely result...

Aphids are recognized as a major threat to economically important crops. Their control is predominantly based on synthetic insecticides that are detrimental to human health and the environment. Botanical pesticides based on essential oils (EOs) are a promising alternative. In this study, the entomotoxicity of green anise and fennel EO...
