Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Bioassays of 36 Leucoptera coffeella populations revealed resistance to neurotoxic insecticides, control failures of ≤62.9% and enzyme activity variation, with particularly high GST and low AChE levels. Abstract Background Leucoptera coffeella is a key pest of coffee crops in Brazil, causing significant damage by mining coffee leaves.

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
Insect Science, EarlyView.RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Fourlined Plant Bug (Hemiptera: Miridae), a Reappraisal: Life History, Host Plants, and Plant Response to Feeding [PDF]
, 2017 Phenology of the fourlined plant bug, Poecilocapsus lineatus, is presented for southcen- tral Pennsylvania; life history and habits are re-examined. Although breeding was previously thought to occur only on woody plants, we found that nymphs develop on ...

L\'evy flights and self-similar exploratory behaviour of termite workers: beyond model fitting [PDF]
, 2014 Animal movements have been related to optimal foraging strategies where self-similar trajectories are central. Most of the experimental studies done so far have focused mainly on fitting statistical models to data in order to test for movement patterns ...

A morphometric and molecular study of the genus Pseudopodisma (Orthoptera: Acrididae) [PDF]
, 2017 The specific status of three described taxa belonging to the genus Pseudopodisma (P. fieberi, P. transilvanica, P. nagyi) is based on a single character, because the original descriptions separate the species solely on the basis of genital structure of ...

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.
