Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

The urban island: climatic suitability of Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the role of cities in the invasion of the Western Palearctic

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...

Efficacy of aqueous extracts from three plants in controlling cabbage aphid [Brevicoryne brassicae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae)] on field-grown cabbage (Brassica oleraceae L.)

open access: yesTechnology in Horticulture
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) crops are frequently attacked by aphids (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) which severely damage cabbage production.

Cucurbit aphid‐borne yellows virus: A growing but overlooked threat to global cucurbit production

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Cucurbit aphid‐borne yellows virus (CABYV) presents a significant threat to cucurbit crops worldwide. In this description of a plant virus we review what is currently known about this plant virus. Abstract Cucurbit aphid‐borne yellows virus (CABYV) presents a significant threat to cucurbit crops worldwide.
