Herbivore Identity and Species Richness Shape Fruit Chemical and Quality Responses to Foliar Herbivory

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The cascading effects of foliar herbivory on specialized metabolism, specifically within reproductive tissue like fruit, are relatively understudied. We conducted a greenhouse experiment with varying combinations of three common pest species on fruiting strawberry plants.

Assessing the potential for fall armyworm exchanges between the two American continents across the Mexico-Central America land bridge.

PLoS ONE
The fall armyworm is a major agricultural pest of corn and multiple other crops. A native of the Western Hemisphere it is now a global concern after its discovery in Africa in 2016 and subsequent infestations in Asia and Australia.

Predicting the Global Potential Suitable Distribution of Fall Armyworm and Its Host Plants Based on Machine Learning Models

Remote Sensing
The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (J. E. Smith) is a widespread, polyphagous, and highly destructive agricultural pest. Global climate change may facilitate its spread to new suitable areas, thereby increasing threats to host plants. Consequently,

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Multi‐Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast‐Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Comparative molecular analyses of invasive fall armyworm in Togo reveal strong similarities to populations from the eastern United States and the Greater Antilles.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E. Smith) is a noctuid moth that is a major and ubiquitous agricultural pest in the Western Hemisphere. Infestations have recently been identified in several locations in Africa, indicating its establishment in

Management of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in maize (Zea mays L.) in Indonesia and Thailand via mating disruption

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith), has been problematic in Southeast Asia since its invasion in 2019. Fall armyworm management in these areas largely depends on synthetic insecticide application, and alternative management practices are ...

Adult Beet Armyworm and Fall Armyworm: Histology of the Compound Eyes

The Florida Entomologist, 1975
The compound eyes of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner), and the fall armyworm, S. frugiperda (J. E. Smith), are composed, respectively, of 6-7 thousand ommatidia 240-290 @mm long and 10-12 thousand ommatidia 400-470 @mm long. Both species have lenses ca. 18 @mm wide and 8 @mm thick.
