Injection but not ingestion of a mixed virus suspension in Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni) shifts persistent covert infection to acute pathology

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 114-124, January 2026.
Covert and persistent infections with multiple insect‐specific viruses are common in pest fruit flies and may affect pest management strategies. Our study investigated the host effects and viral loads of cripavirus and iflavirus as persistent infections in Queensland fruit fly, and after injection and ingestion of a mixed virus suspension containing ...

RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

Oviposition Activity of an Invasive Fruit Fly Species at Different Densities in Laboratory

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 45-52, January 2026.
Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major fruit fly pest affecting Brazil's international fruit trade due to phytosanitary restrictions. Although currently restricted to northern Brazil, little is known about its oviposition behavior. In this study, we investigated the daily oviposition pattern of B.

Plastic Behavioral Responses to Ambient Relative Humidity Influence Aggregation in a Large Gregarious Insect

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 1, Page 11-17, January 2026.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) demonstrated an increased probability of performing aggregation behavior at higher ambient relative humidity levels, indicating environmentally dependent plasticity in social grouping behavior.

Draper‐ATG3 Interaction Positively Regulates Autophagy to Mediate Silk Gland Degradation in Bombyx mori

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
Draper is evolutionarily conserved across most insect species. Loss of Draper inhibits autophagy activation, delaying middle silk gland degradation in the silkworm during metamorphosis. Draper interacts with autophagy ‐ related protein 3 (ATG3) to orchestrate autophagosome formation—a process essential for silk gland degradation during the larval‐pupal
