Better Control With More Food: Continuous Provision of Alternative Food Enhances Thrips Control by Predatory Mites

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

Spatial Distribution of Paysandisia archon (Burmeister) (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) Infestation on Palms in the City of Pesaro

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paysandisia archon is a South American castniid moth unintentionally introduced in Europe through the international plant trade and first reported there in the early 2000s. Its larvae cause severe damage to palms (Arecaceae) by feeding on the apical meristem and excavating inside the trunk, leading to structural instability and eventual plant ...

Evaluating Bottom‐Up Effects of Cruciferous Cultivars to Optimise Mass‐Rearing and Fitness of the Parasitoid Diadegma insulare

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae: Lepidoptera), is one of the major pests of cruciferous vegetables. To control this notorious pest, the caterpillar parasitoid Diadegma insulare (Cresson) (Ichneumonidae: Hymenoptera) is the most used biocontrol agent. Efficient mass‐rearing of D.

Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Ostensive communication in great apes: The evolution of Gricean intent

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
I discuss the evolution of ostensive behaviours (behaviours that display the communicative intent to influence others through the perception of signals and actions addressed to them). Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...
