Canopy position and tree size structure the distribution of honeydew‐producing scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in a temperate hardwood forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Scale insect abundance peaked in the upper canopy of sugar maples. Parthenolecanium peaked on older internodes; Lepidosaphes on the current leader. Internodes longer than the previous carried more scales; wider ones fewer. Abstract Forest canopies are vertically stratified habitats in which microclimate and host tissue quality vary with height.

Six Decades of the Sterile Insect Technique Applied to Ceratitis capitata in Israel: Evolution, Methodology and Socio‐Economic Perspectives

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; Medfly) has been a primary agricultural pest in Israel for over a century. While chemical control remains the prevalent choice for its management, the integration of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) into the management programme for this pest has been explored and implemented in various ...

Thermal Limits and Future Climate Projections Indicate Declining Habitat Suitability for Mealybug Species of Citrus in Africa

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
The mean critical thermal maxima varied significantly across species with Delottococcus aberiae showing the highest heat tolerance, whereas Planococcus citri recorded the lowest. All mealybug species exhibited substantial contractions in climatically suitable areas by 2100, with Pseudococcus calceolariae recording the greatest proportional decline ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
