From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Pilot field studies on insect pathogenic fungi to control mirid pests of apples in Norway [PDF]

, 2008
In a pilot field study conducted in an apple orchard in Hardanger (Western Norway) in two succesive years both Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae were applied to apple trees just after hatching of mirid nymphs in spring.

Dynamical modeling of the control of brown planthoppers by Beauveria bassiana and Cyrtorhinus lividipennis

Advances in Difference Equations, 2019
In this work, the control of brown planthopper, a major pest of rice, when a biological control agent (Cyrtorhinus lividipennis) and a pathogen (Beauveria bassiana) are utilized is investigated mathematically.

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Peptides Derived From Reactive Center Loops Inhibit Digestive Trypsin‐Like Enzymes in Lepidopteran Pests

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 1, January 2026.
Soybean yield is often reduced by pest attacks. Among these, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) stands out as one of the most important defoliating pests of soybean. Therefore, the development of new bioinsecticides targeting Lepidopteran pests is an urgent need.

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

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.
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.
