Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.The interaction of soybean plant and the endophytic microorganism Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating a single trifoliate leaf. The effects of this inoculation on the herbivory, larval development, and life traits of Spodoptera frugiperda were measured.

Tritrophic interactions among Bt maize, an insect pest and entomopathogens: effects on development and survival of western corn rootworm [PDF]
, 2012 Agricultural systems often provide a model for testing ecological hypotheses, while ecological theory can enable more effective pest management. One of the best examples of this is the interaction between host-plant resistance and natural enemies.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Analysis of plasmid transconjugants relative to plasmid‐free and plasmid‐carrying Serratia spp. demonstrates erratic disease phenotypes and reduced fitness. Transconjugants also show reduced ability to degrade substrates associated with virulence, supported by transcriptomic data.

First Test of a Potential Biological Control Agent of Argentine ants (Linepithema humile)
InsectsThe Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), listed among the world’s 100 worst invasive alien species, is notoriously difficult to control due mainly to its formation of large, expansive supercolonies.

Los Nemátodos Entomopatógenos: una alternativa en la lucha contra el gusano cabezudo (Capnodis Tenebrionis Linnaeus) (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) [PDF]
, 1995 El gusano cabezudo Capnodis tenebrionis es una importante plaga de los cultivos de frutales de hueso. La larva de este coleóptero se desarrolla y alimenta en el interior de las raíces de los árboles atacados, lo que dificulta su lucha con los ...

Diversity, prevalence and virulence of fungal entomopathogens in colonies of the ant Formica selysi [PDF]
, 2012 The richness of the parasitic community associated with social insect colonies has rarely been investigated. Moreover, understanding how hosts and pathogens interact in nature is important to interpret results from laboratory experiments.

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...
