Landscape Genomics and Evolutionary History of Megamelus scutellaris, a Biocontrol Agent of the Invasive Water Hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the evolutionary history of biological control agents in their native ranges is crucial for improving their selection, establishment, and performance across environmentally diverse regions. Phytophagous insects that specialize on aquatic plants offer particularly valuable models, as their evolutionary trajectories may be shaped ...

Antimetabolic effects of plant proteins on homopteran insect pests [PDF]

, 1993
Homopteran insect pests can cause severe economical damage to crop plants by both direct physical means and as vectors of plant viral diseases. They are notoriously difficult insects to control by conventional methods, primarily due to their ability to ...

Biology of the Planthopper Sogatella furcifera HORV. in Egypt (Horn., Delphacidae)

Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift (neue Folge), 1980
The planthopper Sogatella furcifera (HORV.) was reared on wheat seedlings, inside large wire cages placed in the open, at Kafr-el-Sheikh, Egypt (about 130 Km north of Cairo). Egg incubation period averaged 7.1 days at 23-34 °C, 9.3 days at 17-28 °C and up to 21 days at 13-22 °C. Egg hatchability averaged 64.3-88.9%. Total nymphal durations were 13.8-15.

Exploring the Influence of Insect Honeydew on Plant Physiology and Health: Bridging the Gap in Current Understanding

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Honeydew, a sugary excretion from sap‐feeding insects, significantly influences plant‐insect interactions. While extensive research has examined honeydew's composition, regulation, and role in insect‐plant relationships, its direct effects on plant physiology and health remain understudied.

Genomic Analysis Reveals Annual Variation in the Migratory Pathways to East Asia in the Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is a major rice pest in Asia, causing significant yield losses. As BPH cannot overwinter in temperate regions, East Asian populations are wind‐borne migratory insects originating from tropical regions. The identification of precise migratory patterns is essential for forecasting BPH outbreaks and

Generalist predators function as pest specialists: Examining diet composition of spiders and ladybeetles across rice crop stages

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1889-1901, August 2025.
By quantifying the diet composition of GAPs over crop stages, farm types and years, this study reveals that generalist predators have potential to produce a stable, predictable top‐down effect on pests in rice agro‐ecosystems. Therefore, promoting the field densities of ubiquitous generalist predators will likely enhance pest management and support ...

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 ...
