A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1135-1140, September 2026.
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.
