Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.ABSTRACT The bestRAD technique is a reduced genome representation approach with high‐capacity sample multiplexing and physical isolation of biotin‐labelled target DNA fragments using streptavidin beads, which should reduce total cost and genotyping errors. While we here formalise the relevance of this approach within the HTS landscape, our foremost aim

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 3, Page 345-355, November 2025.Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1319-1334, November 2025.ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

Effectiveness of clays and copper products in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin)and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in organic farming [PDF]
, 2008 Tests on the effect of clays (kaolin and bentonite) and copper products (hydroxide and oxychloride) in the control of olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin), and Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), were carried out from 2003 to ...

Comparative proteomic profiling reveals molecular characteristics associated with oogenesis and oocyte maturation during ovarian development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]
, 2017 Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular ...

Suppression of Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupae by soil arthropods in the olive grove [PDF]
, 2016 Soil arthropods can provide ecosystem services, such as biological control of crop pests that spend part of their life cycle in the soil. This is the case of Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), one of the most important pests of olives.
