Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8500-8509, December 2025.The classical biological control program with Trissolcus japonicus in Trentino effectively reduced Halyomorpha halys damage in apple orchards, increasing discovery efficiency and egg parasitization rates from 2020 to 2023. The results demonstrate reduced pesticide use and fruit damage, highlighting CBC as a sustainable pest management strategy against ...

Insect biological control of the tomato‐potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli, a review
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 795-811, December 2025.ABSTRACT The tomato‐potato psyllid (TPP) Bactericera cockerelli is a polyphagous herbivore and a renowned pest of solanaceous crops found in America and the Pacific region. Over the last fifteen years, several strategies have been tested worldwide to successfully manage this species, but these have been mostly unsuccessful.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 463-475, August 2025.Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis
EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria
New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1897-1910, March 2025.Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile‐Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the effects of air pollutants on volatile organic compound‐mediated insect–plant interactions, which underlie key ecosystem services. Significant knowledge gaps are also identified. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifetime of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and ...

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time
Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-31, January 2025.Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.

Pest categorisation of Lepidosaphes pistaciae
EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of Prunus persica and P. dulcis plants for planting from Türkiye, in which Lepidosaphes pistaciae (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), the pistachio oyster scale or yellow pistachio scale, was identified as a pest of possible concern, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation for the territory ...
