Stand composition and forest edge effects on insect pest dynamics in pine stands: a comparative analysis of pure and mixed forest structures in Algeria

Stand composition strongly influences forest susceptibility to insect herbivores, yet its role in shaping infestations of the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) remains poorly documented at the southern edge of the species’ distribution. This study investigated how...

Repellency of Selected Algerian-Origin Essential Oils and Hybrid Formulations Against Two Arbovirus Vectors, Culex pipiens s.l. and Aedes albopictus

Mosquitoes are significant public health insects responsible for numerous vector-borne diseases. Injudicious chemical use has developed metabolic and genetic resistance in mosquitoes. This study evaluated the repellent efficacy of five essential oils (EOs) from local plants [Ment...
