Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Extraction of botanical pesticides from Pelargonium graveolens using supercritical carbon dioxide

Industrial Crops and Products, 2015
Abstract Pelargonium graveolens is a valuable source of biologically active compounds and a promising botanical pesticide. In this study, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of Pelargonium leaves was optimized to improve the extraction yields, selectivity and pesticidal activity under different operational conditions (pressure 9–30 MPa ...

First report in Italy of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), a major threat for Sicilian horticulture and floriculture

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The presence of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922) is reported for the first time in Italy. Prior to this finding, within Europe the pest was only known to be established in Spain. The discovery happened in a greenhouse cultivating gerberas in south‐eastern Sicily, a region recognized as Italy's primary and one of Europe's most important ...
