Deterring frugivores, sparing pollinators
Urban green spaces are important reservoirs of biodiversity, yet urban host trees are increasingly affected by mistletoe infestations. Because most mistletoes depend entirely on animal vectors for pollination and seed dispersal, interventions targeting these vectors offer a potential management approach. Reflective tapes are a nonlethal bird deterrent widely used in agriculture but have not been tested in urban forestry nor against mistletoe repr…
From traditional practice to unsustainable exploitation
Societal Impact Statement Overharvesting of wild edible plants poses a growing threat to plant populations worldwide, particularly for slow‐growing species with limited regeneration. We quantified fruit extraction from the third‐largest known population of Jubaea chilensis —an endangered palm endemic to Chile—modeled the critical harvest threshold, and assessed consumer perceptions. We found that 13.46 tons are illegally harvested per season, rep…
A High Proportion of Natural Habitat Enhances the Pollination Services on Cucurbita pepo in an Agricultural Landscape
The presence of natural areas can significantly influence the provision of multiple ecosystem services to agricultural landscapes. Although its role within agricultural landscapes as habitat for wild pollinators is increasingly recognized, it remains unclear whether these pollinators spill over into orchards to supplement pollination services—a critical knowledge gap, particularly in the threatened Mediterranean ecosystem of South America. This s…
The market–society–policy nexus in sustainable agriculture
Intensive agriculture has led to several environmental impacts, such as soil erosion, water scarcity, and pesticide pollution. Despite the increasing research advocating greener agriculture, the transition into sustainable agriculture practices has been slower than expected. Then, why are we stuck in this transition? In this scientific essay, we aimed to answer this question not only by analyzing agricultural systems but also by the associated ac…
