Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Effects of Ascorbic Acid Deficiencies on Larvae of \u3ci\u3eLymantria Dispar\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) [PDF]
, 2017 We assessed the effects of ascorbic acid and total vitamin deficiencies on growth, food processing efficiencies and survival of larval gypsy moths. Artificial diet lacking ascorbic acid did not alter performance of fourth instars, whereas diet lacking a ...

Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.
