An investigation into the host-parasite interrelationship between Common Swifts and Hippoboscid Louse-Flies [PDF]
Parasitism is defined as an obligatory hetero-specific relationship where resource transfer between a host and parasite occurs. This results in the sub-optimal expression of host life-history traits and a consequent reduction in host fitness.\ud The Louse Fly, Crataerina pallida (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), is a monoxenous haematophagous nest ectoparasite

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We compared two island populations of Bethencourtia palmensis and their culturable endophytic fungi, revealing distinct plant chemistries and a higher biopesticidal potential in the endophytic fungi from La Palma population along with high potential for the discovery of novel compounds.

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The study has identified mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel of the English grain aphid (Sitobion avenae) at M918 and L932, which have not been previously reported in this species. Abstract BACKGROUND The grain aphid, Sitobion avenae Fabricius (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a vector of yellow dwarf viruses and an important pest of cereals.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.X‐ray irradiation of Delia platura pupae showed that 20 Gy induces high sterility while maintaining male quality and competitiveness, establishing optimal parameters for sterile insect technique implementation in North America. Abstract BACKGROUND The seedcorn maggot, Delia platura Meigen (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is a sporadic but economically ...
