Mapping the global distribution of invasive pest Drosophila suzukii and parasitoid Leptopilina japonica: implications for biological control. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Insect pest invasions cause significant damage to crop yields, and the resultant economic losses are truly alarming. Climate change and trade liberalization have opened new ways of pest invasions.

Factors influencing oviposition behaviour of the invasive pest, Drosophila suzukii, derived from interactions with other Drosophila species: potential applications for control. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci, 2023 Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) or spotted wing Drosophila is a worldwide invasive pest of soft‐ and stone‐fruit production. Female D. suzukii lay their eggs in ripening fruit and the hatched larvae damage fruit from the inside, rendering it unmarketable ...

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of Sex-Specific Doublesex Splicing Variants Leads to Sterility in Spodoptera frugiperda, a Global Invasive Pest. [PDF]
Cells, 2022 Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), an emerging invasive pest worldwide, has posed a serious agricultural threat to the newly invaded areas. Although somatic sex differentiation is fundamentally conserved among insects, the sex determination cascade in ...

Artificial selection for nonreproductive host killing in a native parasitoid on the invasive pest, Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2021 Establishment and spread of invasive species can be facilitated by lack of natural enemies in the invaded area. Host‐range evolution of natural enemies augments their ability to reduce the impact of the invader and could enhance their value for ...

How varying parameters impact insecticide resistance bioassay: An example on the worldwide invasive pest Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Monitoring pesticide resistance is essential for effective and sustainable agricultural practices. Bioassays are the basis for pesticide-resistance testing, but devising a reliable and reproducible method can be challenging because these tests are ...

Context-dependent integrated stress resistance promotes a global invasive pest. [PDF]
Insect Sci, 2022 AbstractIn nature, insects concurrently face multiple environmental stressors, a scenario likely increasing with climate change. Integrated stress resistance (ISR) thus often improves fitness and could drive invasiveness, but how physiological mechanisms influence invasion has lacked examination.
