CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 463-475, April 2026.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

Development of Isothermal Amplification Assays for the Identification of Spodoptera eridania and Spodoptera ornithogalli (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequences

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the southern armyworm (SAW), Spodoptera eridania, and the yellow‐striped armyworm (YSAW), Spodoptera ornithogalli, have not yet been introduced to Korea, they are listed as regulated quarantine pests in Korea because of their potential to cause serious economic losses in diverse agricultural crops upon introduction.

How to eradicate an invasive forest pest without clear‐cutting

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results show that selective cutting applied together with modern remote sensing surveillance methods is an environmentally friendly alternative to the mandatory clear‐cutting for PWN control in the EU. Abstract The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is an invasive species causing high pine mortality in invaded areas outside its ...
