Pirimicarb, an aphid selective insecticide, adversely affects demographic parameters of the aphid predator Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2016
Demographic toxicology is recommended for toxicity determination of the long term effects of a pesticide since it gives a more accurate and efficient measure of the effect of a pesticide.

Key signalling nodes in mammary gland development and cancer: the snail1-twist1 conspiracy in malignant breast cancer progression [PDF]

, 2010
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and despite significant advances in diagnosing and treating it, metastatic spread of cancer cells results in a high mortality rate. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an embryonic program in

Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of Tapinoma ibericum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphidae) control by commercial and spontaneous natural enemies

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Genetic diversity and DNA barcoding of Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) from central China

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
The seven-spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, 1758 is an important biological control agent. Understanding its genetic diversity is vital for biodiversity conservation and effective pest management.

The effect of pre-exposure on family resemblance categorization for stimuli of varying levels of perceptual difficulty [PDF]

, 2014
This study investigated the effect that pre-exposure to a set of stimuli has on the prevalence of family resemblance categorization. 64 participants were tested to examine the effect that pre-exposure type (same-stimuli vs unrelated-stimuli) and the ...

Annual flower strips under the ‘Sweden Blossom’ initiative – how do they perform for pollinators, natural enemies and herbivores?

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.

Effects of autumn kaolin, pyrethrin, and ladybird larvae (Adalia bipunctata) applications on the spring populations of the rosy apple aphid (Dysaphis plantaginea) in an on-farm apple orchard (cv. Topaz) [PDF]

, 2003
Effects of different strategies (insecticide treatment, physical barrier, biocontrol) to control autumn forms of Dysaphis plantaginea. Question 1: Efficacy of pyrethrum, kaolin, and larvae of A. bipunctata to control Dysaphis plantaginea.

Assessing the ecological risk posed by a recently established invasive alien predator: Harmonia axyridis as a case study [PDF]

, 2016
Invasive alien predators are a serious threat to biodiversity worldwide. However, there is no generic method for assessing which local species are most at risk following the invasion of a new predator.
