Presentation_1_Sweet Scents: Nectar Specialist Yeasts Enhance Nectar Attraction of a Generalist Aphid Parasitoid Without Affecting Survival.pptx

open access: yes, 2018
Floral nectar is commonly inhabited by microorganisms, mostly yeasts and bacteria, which can have a strong impact on nectar chemistry and scent. Yet, little is known about the effects of nectar microbes on the behavior and survival of insects belonging ...

Yeast–nectar interactions: metacommunities and effects on pollinators

open access: yes, 2021
About 90% of all flowering plant species are pollinated by animals. Animals are attracted to flowers because they often provide food in the form of nectar and pollen.

Dose‐dependent efficacy of a novel dsRNA‐based solution containing vadescana for Varroa destructor control

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.
Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Parasitism Affects Entomofauna Dynamics in Infected and Uninfected Plants: A Case Study of Orobanche anatolica Parasitizing Salvia absconditiflora

open access: yesInsects
Salvia absconditiflora and Orobanche anatolica exhibit a parasitic relationship. S. absconditiflora serves as a rich food resource for insects due to its abundant nectar. O. anatolica demonstrates host specificity towards S. absconditiflora.

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Characterisation of phenolic compounds and polysaccharides in strawberry: Cultivar and harvest effects and their correlation with nectar colour stability.

open access: yesFood Chemistry
Low colour stability in strawberry nectar during storage led to the study of polyphenols and polysaccharides in fruit and their potential role in colour after processing in relation with cultivar, ripening stage and harvest time.
