Beyond adult models: Tribolium castaneum larval timekeeping reveals unexpected robustness and insights into circadian clock

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 981-990, June 2025.
Abstract Circadian rhythms are self‐sustained endogenous oscillations that are found in all living organisms. In insects, circadian rhythms control a wide variety of behavioral and physiological processes, including feeding, locomotion, mating, and metabolism.

How exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide affects innate and learned close-range foraging behaviour of a classical biological control agent

open access: yesBiological Control
While foraging in agricultural habitats, natural enemies, such as egg parasitoids, may encounter insecticide residues, which, if not lethal, can alter host location behaviour and learning capacity. Such interference can reduce the potential of biological

Unexpected soundscape response to insecticide application in oak forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Rachel Carson's warning of a silent spring directed attention to unwanted side effects of pesticide application. Though her work led to policies restricting insecticide use, various insecticides currently in use affect nontarget organisms and may contribute to population declines.

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.
