Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.Seasonal cold adaptation is vital for insect survival, yet the molecular mechanisms linking diapause to mitochondrial resilience remain largely unresolved. We identify ascaroside C9 (asc‐C9) as a key endocrine signal that enhances diapause survival during cold stress by activating the AKHR–PGC1α–UCP4 axis, thereby driving cold‐induced lipolysis and ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1765-1775, February 2026.Murayaquinone isolated from the pine endophyte Streptomyces sp. AN140557 exhibits potent, dose‐dependent nematicidal activity and egg‐hatching inhibition against the pine wood nematode. It effectively inhibited pine wilt disease in greenhouse tests, suggesting potential as a promising biocontrol agent.

The ratio and concentration of two monoterpenes mediate fecundity of the pinewood nematode and growth of its associated fungi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, vectored primarily by the sawyer beetle, Monochamus alternatus, is an important invasive pest and causal agent of pine wilt disease of Chinese Masson pine, Pinus massoniana.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Host suitability of a gregarious parasitoid on beetle hosts: flexibility between fitness of adult and offspring. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Behavioral tactics play a crucial role in the evolution of species and are likely to be found in host-parasitoid interactions where host quality may differ between host developmental stages.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Lytta sifanica (Coleoptera: Meloidae), a species of significant economic importance, is renowned for its production of the toxic compound cantharidin. In this research, Zhou and colleagues collected specimens of this insect and identified seventy olfactory‐related genes through transcriptomic analysis of adult antennae in L. sifanica. Sequence homology

Effect of unsaturated fatty acids around pupal chambers of Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and Acanthocinus orientalis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the number of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) carried by the beetles [PDF]
, 2010 Several chemical compounds, e.g., linoleic and oleic acids, have been reported to be attractive to the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in previous studies.

A Detection Method of Pine Wilt Disease Based on Improved YOLOv11 With UAV Remote Sensing Images
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.The proposed YOLOv11‐OC model enhances detection performance in PWD‐infected trees in two main ways. On one hand, the omni‐dimensional dynamic convolution (ODConv) module improves the C3K2 by using a multi‐dimensional attention mechanism to adaptively adjust the convolution kernel weights, thereby enhancing the model's ability to extract features from ...
