Comparative transcriptome analysis provides a glance into the regulation of the Krüppel homolog 1 on the reproduction and diapause of the predatory ladybeetle, Coccinella septempunctata

BMC Genomics
As a typical natural predator of agricultural pests, the lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata, has been commercially mass-reared and widely employed in in pest management.

Acute Toxicity of Dinotefuran to Picromerus lewisi Scott (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and Its Impact on Offspring Growth and Predation Ability in Integrated Pest Management

Insects
In integrated pest management (IPM), achieving a balance between biological and chemical control strategies is essential for effective pest control. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the impact of chemical pesticides on natural enemies.

Autophagy Orchestrates Anti‐Tumor Immunity to Enhance Chemosensitivity via the FBXW2/C/EBPβ/TIMP‐2 Axis in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy leverages tumor‐cell autophagy to reshape the colorectal cancer immune microenvironment. Autophagy degrades FBXW2 to promote C/EBPβ‐mediated TIMP‐2 transcription and MMP‐9 suppression, driving intra‐tumoral CD8+ T‐cell infiltration. Targeting MMP‐2/9 or restoring TIMP‐2 overcomes chemo‐resistance in autophagy‐deficient tumors. ABSTRACT The

Optimizing Sex Ratio and Colony Size to Enhance Reproduction and Mass‐Rearing in Spodoptera litura Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions

Ecology and Evolution
The tobacco cutworm Spodoptera litura is a globally distributed polyphagous agricultural pest and common factitious host for mass‐producing biological control agents (e.g., predators, parasitoids, entomopathogens), owing to its rapid development, and ...

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
When organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Optimizing cold storage for diapause termination and post-diapause performance in the green lacewing Chrysopa formosa Brauer (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background Diapause is an adaptative strategy that enables insects to survive unfavorable environmental conditions, and its regulation is critical for large-scale production and storage of natural enemies used in biological control.
