THE EFFECT OF AGRO-ECOLOGICAL ZONES ON THE INCIDENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF APHID VECTORS OF PEPPER VEINAL MOTTLE VIRUS, ON CULTIVATED PEPPER (CAPSICUM ANNUUM L.) IN NIGERIA [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2011 The distribution of aphid vectors of Pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV) was studied on cultivated pepper between 2003 and 2005 in the major pepper producing areas of the six agro-ecological zones in Nigeria.

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Despite 17 years of development, the effectiveness of nanocarrier‐delivered RNAi pesticide (NDRP) for agricultural biological control remains limited. The successful development of effective NDRP development requires the coordinated optimization of target gene selection and nanocarrier properties, including RNA dosage, multi‐gene targeting, protection ...

Direct and Endophytic Effects of Fungal Entomopathogens for Sustainable Aphid Control: A Review
Agriculture, 2022 Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are cosmopolitan species of great interest in pest management due to their ability to cause epizooty in soil-dwelling and aboveground insects.

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 ...

HeliyonThe relation between aphids and Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) in oilseed rape is rarely examined because they are often studied alone. We have observed a significant correlation between the number of aphids and the occurrence of SSR in our field studies ...

PLoS ONE, 2017 Heritable symbionts have been found to mediate interactions between host species and their natural enemies in a variety of organisms. Aphids, their facultative symbionts, and their potential fitness effects have been particularly well-studied.

Wing dimorphism in aphids [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 Many species of insects display dispersing and nondispersing morphs. Among these, aphids are one of the best examples of taxa that have evolved specialized morphs for dispersal versus reproduction. The dispersing morphs typically possess a full set of wings as well as a sensory and reproductive physiology that is adapted to flight and reproducing in a ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.
