Integrating Plant Volatile Scents in Sustainable IPM Approaches for Fall Armyworm Control

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the invasion of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) into new regions, studies have oriented toward low‐cost management tools and methods. This study assessed the effects of volatile scents that are naturally emitted by essential oil (EO) plants on the severity of FAW and populations of its natural ...

Mitigating Arthropod Mortality During Roadside Mowing: The Potential of the EcoCut Insect Flushing Bar

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (

Shedding Light on Shining Leaf Chafers: Rutelinae MacLeay, 1819 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Scarabaeidae) as a Neglected Group of Pollinators

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The interactions between insects and angiosperms date back to millions of years ago. Among the groups of pollinating animals, it is estimated that insects are responsible for pollinating more than 70% of angiosperms. Coleoptera is one of the most studied insect groups for pollination.

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

The Shape and Material of the Flight Interception Trap Matter for Beetle Sampling

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beetles (Coleoptera) are one of the most diverse insect groups, playing vital roles in ecosystem functions such as decomposition and pollination. Despite their ecological importance, their immense diversity is often under‐sampled due to inconsistent and non‐standardised sampling methodologies.
