Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...

Evaluating astigmatid mites as supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus: contrasting responses between commercial and wild populations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...

On the Miridae fauna of the Middle East (Heteroptera, Miridae)

Entomologica Fennica, 1994
The taxonomy of the genera Tuponia Reuter, 1875, and Cyrtopeltis Fieber, 1860, is discussed. New species: Tuponia semele and T. filomele spp. n. (Israel). New combination: Tarajala brevicornis (Reuter, 1879) = Tuponia brevicornis (Reuter, 1979). New synonymies: Tuponia annulata Wagner, 1974 = T. carayoni vulnerata Linnavuori, 1961, T.

Asciodema obsoleta (Hemiptera: Miridae): new record for Uzbekistan

Acta Biologica Sibirica
European plant bug Asciodema obsoleta (Fieber, 1864) was the first to be reported; to date, no records have been published. In our recent fieldwork, we extended the recorded distribution of true bug species and provided the first Uzbekistan record: in ...

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

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
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.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Do male-derived substances affect female mating receptivity and release of sex pheromone by females of the sorghum plant bug Stenotus rubrovittatus (Hemiptera: Miridae)?

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
In insects, male-derived substances transferred during copulation often alter female physiology. Thus these substances may affect female behaviour, including mating receptivity and release of sex pheromone. In the sorghum plant bug Stenotus rubrovittatus

Anatomy and Histology of the Midgut of Atopozelus opsimus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopozelus opsimus Elkins, 1954 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) preys on forest and agricultural pests but also feeds on extrafloral nectar; however, its alimentary canal is poorly understood. The aim was to describe the anatomy and histology of the A. opsimus midgut. The alimentary canal of female and male A.

Polygalacturonase gene expression and enzymatic activity in salivary glands of laboratory reared and wild populations of Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois, 1818) (tarnished plant bug) is a serious pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the Delta region as compared to cotton in the Hills region of the state of Mississippi in USA. The reason for this is unclear but it
