CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated mutagenesis of the white‐eye gene in the tephritid pest Bactrocera zonata
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 476-490, April 2026.Abstract Bactrocera zonata is a highly invasive agricultural pest that causes extensive damage to fruit crops. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a species‐specific and environmentally friendly pest control method, significantly benefits from the availability of Genetic Sexing Strains (GSSs) that enable efficient mass production of males for sterile ...

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 505-516, April 2026.Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Chronobiology InternationalDaily rhythms, such as mating times, play a key role in shaping insect behavior and are pivotal in prezygotic reproductive isolation and speciation. To investigate whether mating behavior follows a daily rhythm under natural light–dark cycles and controlled temperature conditions, we examined the mating times of two related agricultural pest species ...

Positive and purifying selection influence the evolution of doublesex in the Anastrepha fraterculus species group. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2012 The gene doublesex (dsx) is considered to be under strong selective constraint along its evolutionary history because of its central role in somatic sex differentiation in insects. However, previous studies of dsx used global estimates of evolutionary rates to investigate its molecular evolution, which potentially miss signals of adaptive changes in ...
