Plant-rhizobia interactions alter aphid honeydew composition

, 2020
Both above-and below-ground interspecific interactions contribute to ecosystem functioning in terrestrial systems, and the integration of below-and aboveground interactions is crucial for deepening our knowledge of nutrient cycling and community dynamics

Detection of Honey Adulteration Using Thermorheological and Spectroscopic Analyses: Independent Evaluation With Linear Latent‐Variable and Gradient Boosting Models

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Honey adulteration is a prevalent economic fraud that demands robust and reliable detection methods. In this study, a proof‐of‐concept was developed on a comparative study of oscillatory thermorheology (20°C–80°C) and spectroscopic techniques, including UV‐Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, for the detection of adulteration with glucose ...

House Fly (Musca domestica L.) Attraction to Insect Honeydew With Identification and Behavioral Studies of Honeydew Volatile Compounds [PDF]

, 2015
House flies are common pests on cattle feedlots and dairies, where they develop in and feed on animal waste. By contacting animal waste, house flies can acquire human pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., in addition to other ...

Whiteflies Provide Honeydew to Camponotus ants Without Receiving Reciprocal Favor

Sociobiology, 2016
The notion that tending ants provide protection to honeydew-producing hemipterans is widely accepted. Nevertheless, there have been debates about whether or not this protection can always disrupt the biological control of hemipterans.

Responses of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Protein Bait Applied at Different Densities

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 736-742, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of odour‐based lures for insects is related to their active space, the air volume around an odour source in which an insect will detect and move towards it. This principle applies to protein baits laced with toxicants that are used as either sprays or stations to suppress pest fruit fly populations.

The nutritional value of aphid honeydew for non-aphid parasitoids. [PDF]

, 2008
Intake of sugar-rich foods by adult parasitoids is crucial for their reproductive success. Hence, the availability of suitable foods should enhance the efficacy of parasitoids as biological control agents.

Honeydew content and electrical conductivity of honey

, 1990
During the honey flow from honeydew in Lunz am See, Austria, between June 30th and July 21 st 1987, samples of returning fieldbees from 3 specially prepared colonies (without any reserve of honey and pollen) were collected daily at various times. The bee

Exploiting honeydew as a food source : making the best of a bad meal? [PDF]

, 2008
The majority of predators and parasitoids require non-prey food as part of their diet. The availability of suitable non-prey food can impact predator–prey and parasitoid–host dynamics and may be critical to the efficacy of biological pest control.

Two Flavones as Markers for the Distinction of Natural Acacia Honey Based on the UHPLC‐QE‐MS Method and Research on Their Potential Immunomodulatory Activity

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study systematically compared the quality characteristics and immunomodulatory activities of natural and commercial honey. A comprehensive strategy combining physicochemical determination, SPE‐UPLC‐Q‐Exactive Orbitrap MS‐based metabolomics, and machine learning‐assisted chemometrics was established to screen differential biomarkers. Hesperetin and
