Novel plant–insect interactions in an urban environment: enemies, protectors, and pollinators of invasive knotweeds

Ecosphere, Volume 10, Issue 11, November 2019., 2019
Abstract Relationships between invasive plants and other species in their introduced ranges may facilitate or hinder the process of invasion. Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed), Fallopia sachalinensis (giant knotweed), and their hybrid Fallopia × bohemica (Bohemian knotweed) are widespread invasive plants in North America and Europe.

The biodiversity benefit of native forests and mixed‐species plantations over monoculture plantations

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 1721-1735, November 2019., 2019
Abstract Aim China's Grain for Green Program (GFGP) is the largest reforestation programme in the world and has been operating since 1999. The GFGP has promoted the establishment of tree plantations over the restoration of diverse native forests. In a previous study, we showed that native forests support a higher species richness and abundance of birds

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Temporal and Spatial Foraging Behavior of the Larvae of the Fall Webworm Hyphantria cunea

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
During their first three larval stadia, caterpillars of Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) are patch‐restricted foragers, confining their activity to a web‐nest they construct in the branches of the host tree. Activity recordings of eight field colonies made over 46 colony‐days showed that the later instars become central place foragers, leaving

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) relating to an analysis of the health risks associated with exposure to caterpillars with stinging hairs and the development of management recommendations

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...
