Response of Amblyseius swirskii to deltamethrin

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 2800-2811, June 2025.
The analysis of toxicological and molecular data reveals target‐site as well as metabolic modifications associated with the resistance to deltamethrin in Amblyseius swirskii colonies. However, semi‐field assays show increased run‐off behavior after treatments with the same pesticide.

Target gene selection for sprayable dsRNA‐based biopesticide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3055-3065, June 2025.
Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

Floral diversity enhances winter survival of honeybee colonies across climatic regions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1487-1497, June 2025.
Our study highlights the critical role of including floral resource diversity and weather conditions in a comprehensive framework for studying honeybee hibernation. It suggests that increasing plant diversity around apiaries and implementing agricultural practices that enhance floral resources can significantly improve winter survival, with honeybee ...

Honey Bee Viromes From Varroa destructor‐Resistant and Susceptible Colonies

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
Our study reveals seasonal variations in honey bee virome composition among colonies independent of their Varroa destructor susceptibility. We report the first detection of AmFV and LSV in Uruguay, obtaining complete or partial genomes of multiple viruses.

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.
