Provision of pest alerts is associated with better farm performance in Africa

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 340-347, January 2026.
Provision of pest alerts on invasive crop pest control in Africa was linked with a higher likelihood of adopting integrated pest management practices, as well as an improvement in crop yield and income. The results suggest that pest alerts are crucial in sustainable pest management strategies against invasive pests. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop pests cause

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,

The chemical ecology of armyworms [PDF]

, 2013
Moths of the genus Spodoptera are economically important pest insects. The necessity to develop novel control strategies which may be included in integrated pest management schemes has led to the study of chemical communication in several species within ...

Has the Striga problem been solved? A field perspective critique of recent progress

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 54-59, January 2026.
The potential field efficacy of recently proposed breeding, biocontrol, suicidal germination, gene editing and transgenic solutions for Striga control is critically evaluated and mostly found wanting improvements. Abstract Three root‐parasitic witchweed (Striga) species can cause up to total loss of grain and legume crops for millions of farmers in ...

Phylogenetic‐Pheromone Associations Obscured by Stabilising Selection and Natal Tree Effect in a Tree‐Killing Bark Beetle

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are highly reliant on chemical cues such as pheromones to facilitate communication and navigation. Some of the roles of pheromones include attracting and finding mates and conspecifics, and in these cases, we expect stabilising selection to dampen within‐population pheromone variation.
