Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Effect of spatial factors to crop-raiding by Japanese macaque
ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH, 2004 猿害は, 種々の防御策がとられてきたにも拘らず顕著に減っていない. 猿害急増の背景には, 自然林の大規模伐採等人為的な環境変動がサルの環境適応能力を発現させたためと考えられる, 本研究では, 鹿児島県屋久島を対象に, 被害低減に効果的な自然林および農地の配置決定を目的とし, ロジスティック回帰分析により, 被害レベルに対する空間要素の近接性の影響を調べた. その結果, 農地が森林, あるいは川幅の広い河川と離れていること, 幅員の広い道路と近いことが, 被害レベルを緩和することが示唆された.

Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Hooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.
