Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Plant essential oils (EOs) represent a potentially effective, safe, and eco‐friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides that cause negative effects for human health and the environment. The present study evaluated in airtight glass chambers the toxicity of vapours produced by EOs obtained from sweet gale, balsam poplar, Labrador tea, jack pine, and ...

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Plant diversification impact on the oviposition response of a predatory bug in a laboratory set‐up
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Orius majusculus laid nearly twice as many eggs in cages with two different crop species compared with a single species. Depending on crop species, O. majusculus utilised different plant structures for oviposition. Crop diversification supports reproduction, and thus, is likely to have a positive effect on O.
