Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Inducible tomato defences persist in detached leaves, despite differential plant variety and gene‐dependent expression

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

Contact and Spatial Repellency of Natural and Synthetic Repellents Toward Dermestes maculatus (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) Beetle Larvae

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology
Dermestes maculatus, commonly known as the hide beetle, is a species of dermestid beetle notorious for its destructive behavior, making it a threat to wool fabrics, leather, and other animal-based materials often found in museum collections.

Transcriptional responses of Aedes aegypti chemosensory tissues in response to volatile DEET and citronella oil

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...
