Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

Egg Adhesion of the Codling Moth Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) to Synthetic Substrates

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.
