Effect of forest stand type on host plant quality and direct and indirect effects on pine sawfly performance [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2021
Observed lower levels of herbivory in mixed compared with monoculture stands have been hypothesized to depend on top-down forces, through higher predation pressure by natural enemies or through bottom-up mechanisms through plant quality effects on ...

Resistance of Botrytis cinerea to anilinopyrimidine fungicides: A novel ARMS‐PCR method for the detection of Bcpos5 mutations and characterization of resistance using CRISPR/Cas9 editing

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A TETRA‐primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T‐ARMS‐PCR) method was developed for simultaneous detection of the L412F/V and G408V mutations. L412F/V mutants were created using the CRISPR/Cas tool and no fitness cost was observed.

Development of the solitary larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in its host Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2000
The development of the solitary endoparasitic braconid Glyptapanteles porthetriae in gypsy moth larvae of different ages was studied. Host larvae were parasitized during the premolt to the 2nd instar (A-larvae), to the 3rd instar (B-larvae) or to the 4th

Dietary restriction induces persistent multigenerational phenotypic effects in Phytoseiulus persimilis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study shows ancestral dietary restriction in Phytoseiulus persimilis produces persistent, sex‐specific, multi‐generational effects on survival and body size, with stronger maternal than paternal lineage influences despite nutritional recovery. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist ...

New Insights into the Phenology and Overwintering Biology of Glyptapanteles porthetriae, a Parasitoid of Lymantria dispar

Insects
Glyptapanteles porthetriae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary larval endoparasitoid of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). Previous studies suggested that only the spring generation of the wasp parasitizes early instars of L ...

Rootstock impacts on citrus flush dynamics, vegetative growth, and Diaphorina citri infestation and dispersion: Implications for huanglongbing management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Dwarfing citrus rootstocks restrict flush shoot growth on the scion, thereby reducing Asian citrus psyllid infestation, dispersal, and huanglongbing (HLB) progression. These findings support the use of dwarfing rootstocks as an effective cultural strategy in integrated HLB management for citrus orchards.

Virulence and Selection of Beauveria Bassiana for the Control of Thaumastocoris Peregrinus

Floresta e Ambiente, 2020
This work aimed to assess the virulence of Beauveria bassiana isolates in different concentrations on Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Hemiptera, Thaumastocoridae) and select them to control this insect pest.

Integrating habitat suitability, socioeconomics, and infrastructure to assess global biological invasion risk under climate change: A case study of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...

Variable strength of forest stand attributes and weather conditions on the questing activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks over years in managed forests [PDF]

, 2013
Given the ever-increasing human impact through land use and climate change on the environment, we crucially need to achieve a better understanding of those factors that influence the questing activity of ixodid ticks, a major disease-transmitting vector ...
