Fungal endophytes decrease aphid performance in grasses: effects on virus transmission? [PDF]

, 2003
We examined how endophyte infection and nutrient availability affects the performance of bird-cherry aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) in meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis).

Dissipation study of ten insecticides in apples under field conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Apples are among the most widely cultivated fruits in temperate climate zone. Given the potential of pests and diseases to cause significant damage to fruit production, orchardists rely on using insecticides and fungicides in infested orchards to protect apple yields.

Asymptomatic Host Plant Infection by the Widespread Pathogen Botrytis cinerea Alters the Life Histories, Behaviors, and Interactions of an Aphid and Its Natural Enemies

Insects, 2018
Plant pathogens can profoundly affect host plant quality as perceived by their insect herbivores, with potentially far-reaching implications for the ecology and structure of insect communities.

Interspecies synchrony in departure decisions from stopover sites: evidence using a multi‐species capture–recapture model

Oikos, EarlyView.
During migration, migratory bird species often aggregate at the same stopover sites due to geographical features that channel migratory routes (coasts, valleys) or locally abundant food resources (e.g. reedbeds, fruiting bushes). In migration ecology, however, stopover behavior is often studied on a single species, limiting the generality of inferences

Aphid Alarm Pheromone as a Cue for Ants to Locate Aphid Partners

PLoS ONE, 2012
The mutualistic relationships that occur between myrmecophilous aphids and ants are based on the rich food supply that honeydew represents for ants and on the protection they provide against aphid natural enemies. While aphid predators and parasitoids actively forage for oviposition sites by using aphid semiochemicals, scouts of aphid-tending ant ...

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...
