Assessing influence in biofuel production and ecosystem services when environmental changes affect plant–pest relationships

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 864-877, October 2020., 2020
Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae) gained popularity in biofuel production, thanks to the ease of cultivation in different environments. In sub‐Saharan Africa, the Aphthona cookei species group (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), which feed on this plant, cause relevant economic losses. Our study addresses the co‐occurrence of J. curcas with this pest.

Experimental and comparative analysis of masquerade in flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

European Journal of Entomology
Prey animals employ masquerade to avoid recognition by visual predators by developing a resemblance to inedible objects in their environment. Phytophagous flea beetles seem to resemble models of their own manufacture.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

First Record of the European Rusted Flea Beetle, Neocrepidodera ferruginea (Scopoli, 1763), in North America (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The European rusted flea beetle Neocrepidodera ferruginea (Scopoli, 1763) is reported for the first time from Québec and Ontario, Canada. It was likely introduced into southern Ontario at an international port on the Great Lakes in early 1970s, or possibly earlier in the 1960s. However, the exact location and date of introduction could not be precisely
