Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 Here we show that a bacterial endosymbiont, Regiella insecticola, protects pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) from the aphid-specific fungal entomopathogen Zoophthora occidentalis but not from the generalist insect fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana.

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Comparing constitutive and induced costs of symbiont-conferred resistance to parasitoids in aphids
Ecology and Evolution, 2013 Host defenses against parasites do not come for free. The evolution of increased resistance can be constrained by constitutive costs associated with possessing defense mechanisms, and by induced costs of deploying them.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.A cyantraniliprole‐resistant strain of Spodoptera frugiperda with I4790K mutation exhibited a resistance ratio of 3414‐fold and high cross‐resistance to other diamide insecticides. Abstract BACKGROUND Cyantraniliprole, a diamide insecticide, is widely used in Brazil to control sucking and defoliating pests, including the fall armyworm (Spodoptera ...

Artificially perforated holes in stems of small hogweed mimic ecosystem engineering by a moth
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 10, Page 1302-1310, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Ecosystem engineers are species that manipulate the physical state of ecosystems and thereby affect the behaviour and ecology of other species. Mature larvae of the parsnip webworm, Depressaria radiella Goeze, chew holes in the hollow stems of Heracleum sphondylium L. into which they pupate.

Fortifying crop defenses: unraveling the molecular arsenal against aphids
Horticulture AdvancesAphids cause enormous financial losses to various crop plants on a global scale. Moreover, aphids are vectors for many plant viral diseases that can further hasten crop yield losses.
