Identification and Expression Analysis of G Protein-Coupled Receptors in the Miridae Insect Apolygus lucorum

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest and most versatile family of transmembrane receptors in the cell and they play a vital role in the regulation of multiple physiological processes.

Assessing Predator Activity on Clay Models in Response to Common Insecticides in Turfgrass

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insecticides exhibited clear but time‐dependent effects on predatory activity, as reflected by impression types and density on clay models in turfgrass. Certain insecticides (bifenthrin, and in some cases acephate + imidacloprid, imidacloprid, chlorantraniliprole, and tetraniliprole) reduced total impressions shortly after application and again later ...

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

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

open access: yesEntomologica 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

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Taxonomic review of the genus Philostephanus Distant (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Mirinae) from the Korean Peninsula

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2018
The genus Philostephanus Distant (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Mirinae) is taxonomically reviewed in Korea. Two new records, P. tibialis (Lu and Zheng, 1998) and P.

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

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

open access: yesEuropean 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

Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...
