New Plant Protection, EarlyView.The sex pheromone components of Argyrogramma agnata (Staudinger) were identified as Z7‐12:Ac and Z9‐12:Ac. Field trials demonstrated that two components in an 8:3 ratio at a dose of 1100 μg and equipped with box traps could achieve the best capture efficiency. These results provide valuable guidance for the integrated pest management of A.

Oikos, EarlyView.Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a method widely used to determine changes and differences in gene expression. As target gene expression is most often quantified relative to the expression of reference genes, the validation of suitable reference genes is of critical importance.

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...

Melittin promotes dexamethasone in the treatment of adjuvant rheumatoid arthritis in rats
Frontiers in PharmacologyBackground: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an erosive-destructive inflammation of the joints, and the chronic, long-term stiffness and deformation induced by RA are some of the symptoms of arthritis that are difficult to treat.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.
