Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Trips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) asociados a cebolla, lechuga, chile dulce y malezas asociadas en El Zamorano, Honduras

Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria
Thrips (Thysanoptera) constitute one of the most important groups of pest insects in horticultural crops worldwide. In Honduras, knowledge about the species of thrips present in crops and associated plants is scarce.

Temperature and the development rates of thrips: Evidence for a constraint on local adaptation?

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
Typically, the relationship between insect development and temperature is described by two characteristics: the minimum temperature needed for development to occur (Tmin) and the number of day degrees required (DDR) for the completion of development.

Comparative Bionomics of Frankliniella occidentalis and Frankliniella tritici

Florida Entomologist, 2008
Two of the most abundant thrips in the south eastern USA are Frankliniella occidentalis (Per gande) and Frankliniella tritici (Fitch) (Thysan optera: Thripidae). Frankliniella occidentalis is a key pest because of damage caused by its feeding and oviposition in many crops and because it is a vector oiTomato spotted wilt virus (Childers 1997; Ullman et ...

First report in Italy of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), a major threat for Sicilian horticulture and floriculture

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The presence of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922) is reported for the first time in Italy. Prior to this finding, within Europe the pest was only known to be established in Spain. The discovery happened in a greenhouse cultivating gerberas in south‐eastern Sicily, a region recognized as Italy's primary and one of Europe's most important ...

Susceptibility of some new strawberry genotypes to infestation by western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in the nursery

Annals of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Strawberries are infested with Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Egypt. This study evaluated the effects of the biochemical components and leaf surface characteristics of ten new strawberry cultivars (Fortuna, Festival ...

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3011-3018, April 2026.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

Reliable Inference of Phylogenomic Relationship via Assembly‐Based Strategy Accommodating Raw Reads and Proteins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,
