Seasonal phenotype‐specific expression of microRNAs during metamorphosis in the European map butterfly Araschnia levana

, 2020
The European map butterfly (Araschnia levana ) is a well‐known example of seasonal polyphenism because the spring and summer imagoes exhibit distinct morphological phenotypes.

Potential of Beauveria bassiana in the control of Euschistus crenator (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and selectivity to the parasitoid Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 5015-5025, May 2026.
Entomopathogenic fungi effectively suppressed the emerging soybean pest Euschistus crenator, with isolates LCMAP106, UFSM‐01 and a commercial bioinsecticide achieving the highest mortality. These agents did not reduce parasitism or survival of the egg parasitoid Telenomus podisi, highlighting their potential for integration into environmentally ...

First Test of a Potential Biological Control Agent of Argentine ants (Linepithema humile)

Insects
The 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.

Maintenance of Gut Microbial Balance via the Kynurenine Pathway Improves Larval Performance and Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis in Spodoptera exigua

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of kmo in Spodoptera exigua abolished 8‐HQA production, disrupted gut microbial homeostasis, and promoted Enterococcus dominance in gut and oral secretion. Mutants exhibited impaired growth, delayed development, and increased susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis, highlighting a conserved role of the kynurenine pathway ...

Effect of passing Beauveria bassiana through alkane based media on the adult mortalities of Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Entomopathogenic fungi have been investigated for management of stored product pests as alternatives to chemical control. Beauveria bassiana is commonly considered and thus increasing its efficacy has also been studied.

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.

Glucosinolate hydrolysis products suppress entomopathogenic nematodes in vitro but do not protect sequestering flea beetle larvae in vivo

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3603-3612, April 2026.
The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...
