Leaf extracts of Coffea racemosa inhibit digestive trypsins and impair the development of two major lepidopteran pests, Spodoptera frugiperda and Diatraea saccharalis. While both species showed significant enzymatic inhibition, biological responses differed markedly. D. saccharalis exhibited high mortality, whereas S.

How Do Group Size and Social Context Affect Per‐Capita Behavioral Responses in a Nasute Termite?
Group living is often assumed to increase individual behavioral activity in eusocial insects through social facilitation. Using controlled bioassays with the termite Nasutitermes corniger, we show that increasing group size instead reduces per‐capita behavioral frequency, consistent with greater behavioral specialization. While antennation and grooming

This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Balancing risk and opportunity: Nasute termite responses to predator and competitor chemical cues
Nasutitermes corniger discriminates between heterospecific chemical cues during foraging, showing non‐random resource selection based on predator and competitor information. Predator chemical cues consistently reduce food resource selection, indicating avoidance driven by perceived predation risk rather than direct encounters.

Emerging experimental and bioinformatic approaches in RNA interference‐based pest control research
Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) visualization, RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC)‐bound sRNA‐seq and RNA degradomics allow investigating dsRNA uptake and processing, guide small interfering RNA selection and RISC‐mediated target mRNA cleavages. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of genome‐wide responses to dsRNA, including off‐target and compensatory ...
