Abstract The pioneer record described the phenomenon of nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) manipulating host behavior was named as Tree Top Disease or “Wipfelkrankheit” by Hofmann in 1891. Following publics advised multipartite effect during infection progressing that NPVs adjusting manipulated mode to actualize crossing barriers, immune escape and ...

Optimal strategies for utilizing host plant distributions to slow the spread of plant pests
Containment of invasive species can be made markedly more cost‐effective by prioritizing landscape features that naturally impede spread. Targeting treatments around host‐plant gaps supports a clear operational rule: use mating disruption where densities are low to prevent establishment and concentrate pesticides where densities are high to suppress ...

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Dendroindication of Retrospective Larch Defoliation [PDF]
We propose a method for dating of growth seasons of Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) following insect infestation events and defoliation. Needle damage during the growth phase triggers tree investment into additional growth of brachyblasts within ...

Chemoreception in larvae of the mothLymantria dispar [PDF]
Abstract Taste sensitivity in response to diet components was studied in larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, by means of electro‐physiological and behavioural approaches. Dose‐response rela tionships were studied for NaCl, sucrose, and nicotine solutions with the aim of better characterizing chemoreceptor cells involved in gustation.
