Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2343-2363, August 2026.
Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Leafhopper Injury to Legumes

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1929
A brief report on preliminary studies, during 1928, of leafhopper injury to legumes. Among the 15 species of Homoptera tested in cages on various legumes, only Empoasca fabae (Harris) caused the injury, which was serious on alfalfa, red clover, white clover, non-pubescent soybean, peanut, and sainfoin.

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

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 458-470, August 2026.
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.

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.
To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Development of PCR, LAMP and HRM‐Based Molecular Species Diagnostic Tools for Identifying Four Agricultural Pests in the Genus Helicoverpa (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 900-913, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Within the subfamily Heliothinae, the genus Helicoverpa comprises several highly destructive agricultural pests, including H. armigera, H. assulta, H. punctigera and H. zea. These species cause significant global crop losses due to their wide host range, long‐distance migratory behaviour, and potential for interspecific hybridization.

Timing Termination of a Biofumigant Cover Crop for Weed Suppression in Chile Pepper

HortTechnology
Overwinter mustard cover crops incorporated into soil may suppress early-season weeds in chile pepper (Capsicum annuum). However, the potential for mustard cover crops to harbor beet leafhoppers (Circulifer tenellus) is a concern because beet leafhoppers

Egg Brochosomes of Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) species associated with cultivation of grapevines Brocossomos de ovos de espécies de Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) associadas à cultura da videira

Scientia Agricola, 2008
Brochosomes production is considered a feature of Cicadellidae, and may represent an outstanding innovation which has played an important role in the development and diversification of this insect group.

Influence of Vineyard Inter-Row Management on Grapevine Leafhoppers and Their Natural Enemies

Insects
Inter-row management in vineyards can influence the abundance of grapevine pests and their natural enemies. In 2013–2015, in a vineyard in northeastern Italy, the influence of two vineyard inter-row management strategies (i.e., alternate mowing, AM, and ...

OVIPOSICIÓN Y ASPECTOS BIOLÓGICOS DEL HUEVO DE Oncometopia clarior (HEMIPTERA: CICADELLIDAE) EN Dioscorea rotundata [PDF]

Temas Agrarios, 2012
Cicadellidae are insects of agricultural importance because they are plant pathogens vectors. Oncometopia clarior is responsible for transmission of Yam mild mosaic virus that causes yield losses in yam crops.
