Spatial Interpolation in Applied Insect Ecology: A Review, Including Guidelines and Datasets for Practical Use

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1319-1334, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

SMALL HIVE BEETLE (Aethina tumida Murray), A POTENTIAL THREAT TO BEEKEEPING IN CHILE [PDF]

, 2021
In recent years, beekeeping has been affected by many factors, including pesticides, monocultureand deforestation as well as pests and diseases, which are causing the death of Apis mellifera andother pollinating species. One of the most recent threats is

When Two Species Meet: A Potential Beetle‐Yeast Facultative Mutualism

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
A Cyberlidnera yeast was discovered within galleries formed by Spermophthorus apuleiae beetles in the fruits of Ironwood trees. We hypothesise this association is a non‐obligate mutualism. Non‐obligatory as partners are not always found together, and mutualistic, as the beetles increase the yeast's density in the fruits, while the yeast produces ...

Reliable molecular detection of small hive beetles [PDF]

NeoBiota
Invasive species require adequate reliable detection methods to mitigate their further spread and impact. However, the reliability of molecular detection methods is often hampered by both false positives (Error type I) and false negatives (Error type II).

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 4004-4015, July 2025.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Insect chemosensory proteins as targets in insecticide resistance and development

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2025.
This review addresses the biological and chemical properties of insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and presents their functional advancements, not only in olfaction but also in nonolfactory processes, particularly in relation to insecticide resistance.

Pests of Honeybee Colonies (Apis mellifera) in Türkiye: Focus on Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae, Latreille 1802)

Sociobiology
Various bee pests cause yield losses in honey bees and/or hive collapse. The most important is the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida), which has become one of the biggest problems of today's beekeeping. The national study investigated small hive beetles

Optimal Surveillance and Indemnity Policy for Eradicating Exotic Livestock Diseases

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 434-446, June 2025.
ABSTRACT We present a theoretical model that identifies the optimal resource allocation between surveillance and intervention for eradicating exotic livestock diseases. We apply a game theory approach to analyse the strategic interaction between the Animal Health Authority (AHA) and the stockbreeders.
