We examined how environmental and genetic factors influence the ability of Drosophila melanogaster populations to defend themselves against a common fly pathogen. Tropical flies, particularly males and virgins (of either sex) slept more and were more resistant to disease than seasonal populations, indicating that geographical location, sex, mating ...

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 ...

Effects of fungicides on development of Entomophthora aphidis
Three systemic fungicides (benomyl, ethirimol and tridemorph) and seven non-systemic ones (captafol, captan, fentin acetate with maneb, mancozeb, maneb, thiram and zineb) at concentrations recommended for field use inhibited germination of conidia of Entomophthora aphidis.

Infection of Drosophila suzukii with the obligate insect-pathogenic fungus Entomophthora muscae
Physiological constraints restrict specialist pathogens from infecting new hosts. From an applied perspective, a narrow host range makes specialist pathogens interesting for targeting specific pest insects since they have minimal direct effects on non ...

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]
Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely
