Toxic Effects of Lemon Peel Constituents on Ceratitis capitata

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2004
A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the toxicity of lemon peel extracts incorporated into mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata diet. Extracts were obtained with different solvents: diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and methanol. All three extracts were toxic to some extent; the diethyl ether extract was selected for further studies ...

Photoperiod‐Regulated Thermal Tolerance of the Non‐Diapausing Insect Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 725-735, July 2026.
Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.

Responses of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Protein Bait Applied at Different Densities

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 736-742, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of odour‐based lures for insects is related to their active space, the air volume around an odour source in which an insect will detect and move towards it. This principle applies to protein baits laced with toxicants that are used as either sprays or stations to suppress pest fruit fly populations.

Phytochemical Profile and Insecticidal Potential of Two Halophytes, Atriplex halimus and Suaeda fruticosa, Against Tribolium confusum: In Vitro and In Silico Approaches

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
Exploring the insecticidal activity of two Algerian halophytes, Atriplex halimus and Suaeda fruticosa. ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical profile and evaluate the in vitro and in silico insecticidal activities of methanolic extracts from two halophytes, Atriplex halimus (A. halimus) and Suaeda fruticosa (S. fruticosa).

Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1109-1122, June 2026.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Composition and Diversity Characteristics of Gut Microbiota during the Development of Telchinia issoria (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a traditional economic crop of high commercial value, whose cultivation is threatened by the leaf‐feeding pest Telchinia issoria. This study investigated how the gut microbiota of T. issoria shifts across its larval, pupal, and adult stages using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. ABSTRACT Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) was a traditional
