New records of associations between species of Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) and plants in Argentina

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
Almost all reduviids are predators; however, recent observations have shown that certain reduviids, particularly members of tribe Harpactorini (Harpactorinae) may be associated with specific plants as a strategy of predation and complementary nectarivory.

Eurosta solidaginis‐induced stem galls affect strength and colour of botanical dyes extracted from giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
With increasing demand for sustainable goods, botanical dyes are of increasing interest and value to consumers, industry and small‐scale artisanal producers. Goldenrod is a widely used dye plant with a long history of traditional use. The impact of the well‐studied goldenrod stem gall produced by Eurosta solidaginis on goldenrod botanical dyes—and the ...

Applicability of Traps for Collecting Mosquito Immatures (Diptera: Culicidae) for Entomological Surveillance of Arbovirus Vectors in a Remnant of the Atlantic Forest, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Diverse larval habitats significantly influence female mosquito oviposition. Utilizing traps that simulate these habitats is helpful in the study of the bioecology and characteristics of pathogen-transmitting species during oviposition.

Rapid adaptive response of population fitness of Zeugodacus tau during host shifts and implications for integrated pest management strategies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Zeugodacus tau's host‐switching driven by phenotypic plasticity and asymmetric colonization reveals field‐ready integrated pest management tactics: mango–luffa rotation disrupts oviposition site fidelity and synchronization of control measures with critical developmental transition.

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Symbiotic bacteria participate in pectinolytic metabolism to enhance larval growth in Zeugodacus cucurbitae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The larval food consumption, growth, and pectinase activity without symbiotic bacteria are suppressed in Zeugodacus cucurbitae. We isolated four strains of Klebsiella spp. that can participate in pectinolytic metabolism from feeding wounds. Reintroducing them to sterile eggs breaks the developmental constraints caused by the lack of symbiotic bacteria.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.
