Pheromone stereochemical specificity in the biology of the bean beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 564-572, November 2025.
Abstract The dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is a serious pest of legume crops, particularly Phaseolus vulgaris beans, and its management is challenging due to the beetle's cryptic larval stage. The major male‐produced pheromone of A. obtectus is methyl (E,R)‐2,4,5‐tetradecatrienoate, crucial for female attraction, with the (S)‐enantiomer ...

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 497-511, November 2025.
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Aphid proliferation in orchard alleys and canopy predator aggregation in eastern German apple orchards

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 742-754, November 2025.
Abstract 1. European apple (Malus domestica) orchards face persistent threats from aphid infestations, which can severely compromise fruit yields. 2. In this study, we compared aphid communities in two microhabitats (tree canopy and orchard alley) in commercial apple orchards under organic and integrated pest management (IPM), in relation to ...

Paving the Way for Rearing Closterocerus coffeellae: Effect of Adult Food Source and Oviposition Behavior in Leucoptera coffeella

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1226-1235, November 2025.
This study evaluated food sources for adult Closterocerus coffeellae survival and oviposition behavior. Adults were fed honey (10%), Hibiscus nectar, an artificial diet, or received no food. Male survival was higher on the artificial diet, whereas honey (10%) increased female survival.

Projected Climate Change Scenarios Spatially Decouple Desert Extrafloral Nectary–Bearing Plant–Ant Interactions

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is altering species distributions globally, but predicting the impacts on assemblages and their spatial overlaps under future scenarios remains an ongoing challenge. Here, we explore how climate change influences distributions among two interacting assemblages.
