Entomopathogenic Nematodes Induce Metabolic Reallocation in Maize Roots Without Altering the Performance of Two Root Herbivores, Diabrotica virgifera and Diabrotica balteata

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8561-8572, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 512-531, November 2025.
Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Identifying key parameters for reliable assessment of entomopathogenic nematodes viability as affected by spray application stress‐related factors

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4799-4809, August 2025.
Commercial entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were exposed to stress simulating spray application conditions, for viability assessment using different methods. Temperature impacted non‐lethal stress earlier than survival and activity, emphasizing the importance of measuring these parameters to assess pesticide application equipment (PAE) impact on EPN ...

Comparative Vertical Migration of Three Different Strains of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and a Single Strain of Heterorhabditis megidis in Sand at 25°C

Acta Agraria Debreceniensis, 2003
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Heterorhabditis megidis) were tested for downward migration in 9.5 cm vertical sand columns at 25°C with and without a larva of the wax moth, Galleria mellonella, at the bottom. The number of infective juveniles (IJs) in the upper section decreased since the IJs gradually migrated down toward the Galleria larvae into ...
