Harshing the Vibes: Behavioural Responses to Predation and Deterrent Vibrational Playback in Scolypopa Australis (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 598-608, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The use of substrate borne vibrational playback to control insect pests is a rapidly growing line of research targeting many problematic species. Among the control approaches currently being tested, vibrational deterrent playbacks that aim to prevent feeding and to drive pests away from the target area are comparatively under‐explored.

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 162-179, April 2025.
The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Comparative Community Ecology Reveals Conserved Ectoparasite Microbiomes Amidst Variable Host and Environment Microbiomes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our results indicate that ectoparasite microbiomes are highly conserved and specific. In contrast, we found high geographic variation in host and environmental microbiomes, suggesting that there may be a constraint on blood‐feeding insect ectoparasites to maintain a specific microbiome.

Ecological Dynamics of Volatile Organic Compound–Mediated Interactions in Aristolochia Contorta With Parasitoids and Herbivores

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study examined the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the indirect defense mechanisms of Aristolochia contorta against herbivores and parasitoids, utilizing field surveys, olfactometer experiments, and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry.
