LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Augmentative Biological Control Using Parasitoids for Fruit Fly Management in Brazil
Insects, 2012 The history of classical biological control of fruit flies in Brazil includes two reported attempts in the past 70 years. The first occurred in 1937 when an African species of parasitoid larvae (Tetrastichus giffardianus) was introduced to control the ...

How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key phytosanitary pest of citrus in South Africa. The pest damages fruit by burrowing and feeding on the pulp, thus causing yield losses and export rejections. There are several T. leucotreta management strategies, such as orchard sanitation, mating disruption, attract‐and‐kill,

Stable isotope labelling of Ceratitis capitata
Plant Protection Science, 2019 The use of stable isotopes to label an insect species, the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephidae) (medfly) was investigated. Labelling allows mating and life history characteristics to be investigated experimentally.
