Changes in Aphid Host Plant Diet Influence the Small-RNA Expression Profiles of Its Obligate Nutritional Symbiont, Buchnera. [PDF]
Plants are a difficult food resource to use, and herbivorous insects have evolved a variety of mechanisms that allow them to fully exploit this poor nutritional resource. One such mechanism is the maintenance of bacterial symbionts that aid in host plant

Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Comparing constitutive and induced costs of symbiont-conferred resistance to parasitoids in aphids
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.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Belonging to the superfamily Aphidoidea, aphids are Hemiptera insects, many of the species causing economic damage to most cultivated plants. This occurs directly, when they suck the sap and weaken the plants, or indirectly through the transmission of several plant diseases, especially of a viral nature. Aphids cause this plant damage using their biter-

Biological control of aphids in the presence of thrips and their enemies
Generalist predators are often used in biological control programs, although they can be detrimental for pest control through interference with other natural enemies.

Noise pollution as a major disturbance of avian predation in Amsterdam
Trophic interactions play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. In urban environments, avian predation has been demonstrated to be particularly important due to its effects on community structure, pest control, and nutrient cycling. As humanity relies upon ecosystem services for sustenance, and with 70% of the global population projected to ...
