Genotype‐Informed Whole‐Animal Kinome Screening Reveals Shared Kinase Vulnerabilities Across Driver Contexts in PDAC

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Overview of experimental workflow and key findings. Clinically prevalent 2‐hit and 3‐hit PDAC genotypes were first modeled in Drosophila to enable kinome‐wide genetic screening. Candidate therapeutic targets were prioritized using human tumor expression data and pathway enrichment analyses.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

The Importance of the Larval Parasitoid Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Low Density Eastern Spruce Budworm Populations

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is an important larval tachinid parasitoid during low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. In the late 1980s during the outbreak collapse, Meteorus trachynotus was initially the most important species, but was replaced by A. interrupta. Host patch size and density had no impact on the parasitism rates by A.

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

Life‐History Traits and Overwintering of Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae), a Larval Parasitoid of Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is a larval tachinid parasitoid that plays a key role in regulating low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. We describe its immature stages, life‐history traits, host‐searching behavior, development, and confirm its larviparous reproductive strategy.

Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

Oviposition Site Selection in Relation to Hatchling Feeding Performance in Two Sympatric Papilio Butterflies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated oviposition site selection and hatchling feeding performance in two sympatric swallowtail butterflies, Papilio xuthus and Papilio memnon (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), that utilize Citrus trees as host plants. Our study suggests that each species has unique relationships between maternal oviposition preferences and hatchling feeding ...

Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl Salicylate Differentially Modulate Direct and Indirect Defenses in Coffee Plants Against the White Mealybug

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
MeJA application strengthened both direct and indirect coffee defenses against the white mealybug Planococcus citri, whereas the effects of MeSA were variable and context‐dependent across the defensive traits examined. The combined application of both elicitors produced an effect similar to MeSA on direct defenses, but resembled MeJA when indirect ...
