A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Responses of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to sulfoxaflor exposure
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020 Harmonia axyridis is an important predator of several pest species and is part of many Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. To assess the risks of pesticide application to H. axyridis, we studied the effects of sulfoxaflor on H. axyridis larvae. At 72 h after treatment, the acute toxicity LR50 was 311.9476 g a. i.
