Classification of direct threats to the conservation of ecosystems and species 4.0

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and ...

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

Exploited mutualism: the reciprocal effects of plant parasitic nematodes on the mechanisms underpinning plant–mutualist interactions

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2435-2439, June 2025.
Summary We are quickly gaining insights into the mechanisms and functions of plant–mutualist relationships with the common overarching aim of exploiting them to enhance food security and crop resilience. There is a growing mass of research describing various benefits of plant‐mutualistic fungi, including increased nutrition, yields, and tolerance to ...

Mother knows worst? Fungal infection enhances corn flavonoid of wogonin to inhibit Conogethes punctiferalis larval growth

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 2254-2265, June 2025.
Schematic representation of Trichoderma asperellum infection affects the flavonoid content in corn and influences the gut microbiota and juvenile hormone pathway of Conogethes punctiferalis larvae leading to growth inhibition. Summary Pathogen infection in host plants can alter the attraction and adaptability of herbivorous insects.
