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

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6768-6778, October 2025.
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.

Evolution of testicular architecture in the Drosophilidae: A role for sperm length

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Evolutionary biologists have so far largely treated the testis as a black box with a certain size, a matching resource demand and a resulting sperm output.

Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 7188-7196, October 2025.
Number of infested fruits, larval entries and F1 adults decreased as sterile males increased. Control cages had higher fecundity and fertility compared to treatment cages. Release ratios, 40:1 and 60:1 can enhance the efficacy of SIT. Abstract BACKGROUND Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a significant pest of citrus in ...

Transgenerational effects increase the vulnerability of a host–parasitoid system to rising temperatures

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 2089-2102, October 2025.
Insect thermal performance can be modulated by temperatures experienced by preceding generations, but it is unclear how these effects may scale up to communities. Using an experimental Drosophila–parasitoid system and simulations, transgenerational effects affecting both trophic levels are shown to have emergent impacts on persistence under rising ...

Microbiome‐Mediated Resistance of Wild Tomato to the Invasive Insect Prodiplosis longifila

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Soil microbiome‐mediated resistance to Prodiplosis longifila in wild tomato. Wild tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium exhibited reduced leaf damage from P. longifila when gronw in live soil compared to sterilized soil. Sterilization disrupted root‐associated microbiome, particularly reduced the abundance of Actinoplanes, which is linked to biosynthetic ...

Evolutionary history and classification of Micropia retroelements in Drosophilidae species.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Transposable elements (TEs) have the main role in shaping the evolution of genomes and host species, contributing to the creation of new genes and promoting rearrangements frequently associated with new regulatory networks.
