Whole‐genome sequencing reveals novel ryanodine receptor mutations P4568L and Y4701D conferring high‐level chlorantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome sequencing identified novel ryanodine receptor mutations P4568L and Y4701D causing >1000‐fold chlorantraniliprole resistance in Spodoptera litura, enabling development of molecular diagnostics for proactive resistance management. Abstract BACKGROUND Spodoptera litura is a significant insect pest that attacks many agricultural crops ...

Effects of lithium chloride on queen egg‐laying performance and worker honey bee behavior

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chronic oral lithium chloride (LiCl) exposure effectively increases Varroa mite mortality without impairing queen egg laying or brood care behaviors, while significantly reducing worker bee aggression, suggesting its potential for safe Varroa management and mitigating colony aggression.

So near and yet so far: Harmonic radar reveals reduced homing ability of nosema infected honeybees [PDF]

, 2014
Pathogens may gain a fitness advantage through manipulation of the behaviour of their hosts. Likewise, host behavioural changes can be a defence mechanism, counteracting the impact of pathogens on host fitness.

Susceptibility to cyflumetofen in populations of the citrus leprosis mite, Brevipalpus yothersi, from Brazilian citrus orchards

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Brevipalpus yothersi, the vector of citrus leprosis virus, showed high susceptibility to cyflumetofen. Its low resistance suggests it is effective, but should be rotated with other acaricides with different modes‐of‐action for sustainable management.

RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Raw Honey From Apis mellifera, Awi Zone, Amhara, Ethiopia. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Honey samples were collected from districts of Awi zone. The moisture contents and pH of honey samples were 13 ± 0.07–20 ± 0.09 and 3.76–4.01, respectively. Pure 100% honey samples showed the greatest inhibition zone with 25% showed the lowest inhibition zone against tested bacterial pathogens.

Intra-dance variation among waggle runs and the design of efficient protocols for honey bee dance decoding [PDF]

, 2012
Noise is universal in information transfer. In animal communication, this presents a challenge not only for intended signal receivers, but also to biologists studying the system.
