The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Fitness costs associated with Vip3Aa resistance on various hosts in Helicoverpa zea

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7526-7534, August 2026.
Significant fitness costs associated with Vip3Aa resistance in H. zea were observed across three non‐Bt hosts. Abundant non‐Bt refuges could help limit the spread of Vip3Aa resistance in H. zea in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenic crops containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins are crucial for managing major agricultural pests such as the

Ecosystem Services Against Illegal Immigration: The Natural Control of the Migratory Butterfly Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) by Cotesia vestalis (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) on Organic Soybean in Ukraine

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 922-932, August 2026.
In central Ukraine, the migratory butterfly Vanessa cardui emerged as a key pest of organic soybean during its outbreaks in 2019 and 2022. Despite early defoliation, crops recovered strongly due to high parasitism by Cotesia vestalis, reaching 100% in some fields.

Sabadilla (Schoenocaulon officinale) as a modern green pesticide crop within a novel commercialization framework

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract The mounting health, environmental, and resistance challenges posed by synthetic insecticides have renewed interest in botanically derived “green pesticides.” Schoenocaulon officinale (sabadilla), a geophytic perennial native to Mesoamerica with >2000 years of documented insecticidal use, remains undomesticated.

Eco-Geographical and Botanical Patterns of Resistance to Lepidoptera Insects in Brassica rapa L.

Plants
In the context of the widespread expansion of damage by herbivorous pests of Brassica crops, taking into account the requirements for minimizing pesticide pollution of the environment, it is important to have fundamental knowledge of the geographical ...

Plastral Patterns Serve an Anti‐Predator Function in Freshwater Turtle Hatchlings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Color and pattern serve as a range of anti‐predator defense mechanisms across taxa, from crypsis to warning coloration, and these phenomena are well described across invertebrate and vertebrate systems. Painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) are so named for their striking coloration and patterning.

Bt transgenic crops do not have favorable effects on resistant insects

Journal of Insect Science, 2004
hypothesized that insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins produced by transgenic crops could have nutritionally favorable effects that increase the fitness of resistant insects eating such crops.
