Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mortality Agents in Insect Populations: A Review

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
We provide a quantitative review of studies reporting mortality attributable to entomopathogenic fungi in field populations of insects. Overall, data on this subject are surprisingly limited. Nevertheless, they support the conclusion that the assemblages of pathogenic fungi associated with insect populations are diverse but the prevalence mostly ...

Defoliator outbreaks track with warming across the Pacific coastal temperate rainforest of North America

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.
The biogeography of irruptive insect herbivores is determined by host availability and climate conditions. As such, outbreak distributions are sensitive to climatic change, especially across large latitudinal gradients. Here, we investigate the outbreak distributions of two understudied defoliators, hemlock sawfly Neodiprion tsugae (Hymenoptera) and ...

Early Diverging Insect-Pathogenic Fungi of the Order Entomophthorales Possess Diverse and Unique Subtilisin-Like Serine Proteases

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Insect-pathogenic fungi use subtilisin-like serine proteases (SLSPs) to degrade chitin-associated proteins in the insect procuticle. Most insect-pathogenic fungi in the order Hypocreales (Ascomycota) are generalist species with a broad host-range, and ...

An Entomophthora Attacking Citrus Red Mite

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1951
One of the most serious pests of Citrus in Florida is the citrus red mite, Para,tetranychus citri (McG.), which is commonly known in this state as the purple mite. Although this mite has been known in Florida since before 1885 [Riddle (5)], only during the past two decades has it assumed major importance in all of the citrus areas in this state ...

Invasive and developmental processes of Entomophthora species infecting aphids

open access: yesTransactions of the British Mycological Society, 1977
Entomophthora aphidis Hoffmann and E. thaxteriana (Petch) Hall & Bell on Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris, and E. fresenii (Nowakowski) Gustafsson and E. planchoniana Cornu on Aphis fabae Scopoli penetrate the cuticle at any point, probably by enzymic and mechanical processes. Only E. fresenii forms an appressorium.
