Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

Plant Genes Benefitting Aphids—Potential for Exploitation in Resistance Breeding
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Aphids are phloem sap-feeding insects common as pests in various crops. Here we review 62 omics studies of aphid/plant interactions to search for indications of how aphids may manipulate the plants to make them more suitable as hosts, i.e.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae through Illumina platform. The circular mitogenome is 16,500 bp in length and composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal ...

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

mBio, 2018 Members of the genus Rickettsiella are bacterial pathogens of insects and other arthropods. Recently, a novel facultative endosymbiont, “Candidatus Rickettsiella viridis,” was described in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, whose infection causes a ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

The effect of the aphid sex pheromone on the aphid Myzus persicae and its parasitoid Aphidius colemani [PDF]
, 2012 Aphids remain an enormous threat to the sustainability of crops in glasshouse and field environments around the world. It is known that the aphid sex pheromone is used as a kairomone by its natural enemies, such as parasitoids. The focus of this research

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 Body size is a main fitness component of insect parasitoids. We assessed the potential influence of maternal size of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) on its ability to parasitize the different instars of
