“The Last of Them”: Entomopathogenic Effect of Akanthomyces muscarius on the Scale Insect Pest Toumeyella parvicornis Under Laboratory Conditions, a Potential Biological Control Candidate

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic fungi are valuable alternatives to traditional agrochemicals, providing more sustainable crop protection. Akanthomyces spp. is acknowledged in biocontrol practices, especially in controlling aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and mites; however, its efficacy on soft scale insects is still poorly known.

Loss of Paired Weapons Leads to Larger Testes and a Lighter Load for Dispersal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We addressed a weapons testes trade‐off using natural limb loss as an experimental manipulation of weaponized legs in the leaf‐footed cactus bug. We found that individuals missing weapons invested in their testes proportional to the number of weaponized legs they lost.

Evolution of stridulatory mechanisms: vibroacoustic communication may be common in leaf-footed bugs and allies (Heteroptera: Coreoidea)

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Intra- and interspecific communication is crucial to fitness via its role in facilitating mating, territoriality and defence. Yet, the evolution of animal communication systems is puzzling—how do they originate and change over time? Studying stridulatory

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.
