This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Targeting the symbiont Candidatus Pantoea carbekii offers a novel way to manage the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Among the three commercial bio‐products tested, Dentamet significantly reduced symbiont acquisition and caused up to 75% nymphal mortality in laboratory conditions, which was confirmed by quantitative Real‐Time ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.

ABSTRACT Flies (Diptera) are important pollinators in global agriculture, yet little is known about how intraspecific trait variation influences their pollination performance. We compared morphological traits, foraging behaviour and pollination‐related performance metrics between laboratory‐reared (hereafter lab‐reared) and wild populations of ...
