Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus reshapes the rhizosphere microbiome of alfalfa in response to above‐ground attack by aphids and a fungal plant pathogen

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2149-2169, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants assemble beneficial rhizosphere microbiomes through a ‘cry for help’ mechanism upon pathogen or insect herbivore attack. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can influence the composition of microbial communities in the plant rhizosphere. However, their impacts

Injury Characteristics of Allium Leafminer, Acrolepiopsis sapporensis (Lepidoptera: Acrolepiidae) in Welsh Onion and Damage Assessment According to Larval Density Levels during Summer

open access: yesKorean journal of applied entomology, 2012
This study was conducted to assess damage to the welsh onion by Acrolepiopsis sapporensis Mastumura (Lepidoptera: Acrolepiidae) during the summer season, and to estimate the economic injury level (EIL) which results, providing basic data for pest management. The adult peaks of A. sapporensis in Suwon were observed in March, April, May, and September of

Temporal and spatial variations in the parasitoid complex of the horse chestnut leafminer during its invasion of Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The enemy release hypothesis posits that the initial success of invasive species depends on the scarcity and poor adaptation of native natural enemies such as predators and parasitoids.

The abundance and phenology of four common agromyzid leafmining flies (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and their associated parasitoid wasps in southern Victoria

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Three polyphagous agromyzid leafminers, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), have recently invaded mainland Australia, posing a threat to horticultural crops. Overseas, these species are often effectively controlled by local hymenopteran parasitoids.

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Sequential testing of complementary hypotheses about population density

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1228-1238, June 2025.
Abstract Making inferences about population density is paramount in ecology and pest management for decision‐makers who often seek to determine how a population compares to a pre‐established static or dynamic threshold through sampling or monitoring. Sequential data analysis is appealing for monitoring and decision making as it is more cost‐efficient ...

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.

Determination of tomato leafminer: Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) damage on tomato using deep learning instance segmentation method

open access: yesEuropean Food Research and Technology
AbstractPests significantly negatively affect product yield and quality in agricultural production. Agricultural producers may not accurately identify pests and signs of pest damage. Thus, incorrect or excessive insecticides may be used. Excessive use of insecticides not only causes human health and environmental pollution, but also increases input ...

The times of emergence of the adults tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in spring and the number of heat units needed for this as well as its relationship to the damage caused by the insects

open access: yesJournal of Kerbala for Agricultural Sciences, 2022
The objective of this study was aimed to determine the emergence date of tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in Essaouira /  Wasit governorate fields during the spring seasons of 2015, 2016 and 2017. The results indicated that the adults began to emerge during the first ten days of March in all years of this study. Accumulate of 116.24 degree-days

Commodity risk assessment of Berberis thunbergii plants from the UK

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘high risk plants, plant products and other objects’. Taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by ...
