Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Plutella xylostella, diamondback moth, is a major invasive worldwide pest. In Australia, a local Plutella known as P. australiana is almost morphologically indistinguishable from P. xylostella. Therefore, we developed a PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay targeting the mitochondrial COI gene to differentiate the two ...

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Improving the pheromone lure for diamondback moth
New Zealand Plant Protection, 2002 Pheromone traps have potential to assist with integrated pest management of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus)) Trapping experiments were set up in brassica crops in Canterbury and Auckland to test the potential for improving lures for pheromone traps Catch was improved with higher purity of synthetic lures containing (Z)11hexadecenyl ...

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 517-532, April 2026.Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1128-1140, April 2026.Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

A new species of Plutella Schrank (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) from the Andes of northern Chile [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe moth genus Plutella Schrank, 1802 (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) includes 26 described species. In addition to the diamondback moth, P. xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758), which is an important and widely distributed pest of cruciferous crops, only two species ...
