Perspectives for Synergic Blends of Attractive Sources in South American Palm Weevil Mass Trapping: Waiting for the Red Palm Weevil Brazil Invasion

Insects, 2021
Coupling several natural and synthetic lures with aggregation pheromones from the palm weevils Rhynchophorus palmarum and R. ferrugineus reveals a synergy that results in an increase in pest captures.

THE ELUSIVE BANANA WEEVIL COSMOPOLITES SORDIDUS GERMAR

Acta Horticulturae, 2000
The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, has evaded all efforts to manage it in all banana-based cropping systems except the commercial plantation banana system, where the 2 to 3 year crop cycle and the intensity of management limit the pest survival in that system.

First natural occurrence of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals. Criv.) Vuill. on Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar, 1824) (Curculionidae, Coleoptera) in an agroforestry system in the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

Check List
The natural occurrence of the fungus Beauveria bassiana is an indicator of environmental balance. When the agroforestry system naturally presents this entomopathogenic fungus on the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a pest insect in the banana crops ...

A Highly Expressed Odorant Receptor Detects the Aggregation Pheromone Rhynchophorol in the Invasive American Palm Weevil

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Communication via aggregation pheromones is responsible for the behavioural and ecological characteristics of many species of weevils (Coleoptera). In insects, pheromones are detected by specialized odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), which are usually highly expressed in olfactory sensory neurons localized in the ...

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Biological Control of Weevils and Whitegrubs on Bananas and Sugarcane in the Caribbean

The Florida Entomologist, 1992
This review examines the major weevil and whitegrub pests on bananas and sugar-cane of present economic concern in the Caribbean, as well as the various categories of biocontrol agents. It discusses their roles in reducing populations of these pest. Several successful biocontrol agents are presented together with recently obtained information that may ...

Non‐Canonical, Somatic‐Dependent Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia in an Aphid

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
We discovered a novel somatic‐associated Wolbachia transmission strategy in cedar bark aphids (Cinara cedri), contrasting with its typical maternal vertical transmission. This unique maternally retained somatic re‐acquisition strategy—a “piggybacking” on the highly efficient obligate symbiont transmission pathway—reveals diverse endosymbiont strategies

Reducing Postharvest Losses in the Global South: A Meta‐Analytical Framework for Food Policy Intervention

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reducing postharvest losses (PHLs) is essential for fostering sustainable food systems in the Global South regions, where food insecurity is widespread. Currently, there is a fragmentation of information regarding the magnitudes and estimates of PHLs, methodological inconsistency, and uneven distribution of evidence across commodities in the Global ...
