Floral nectar is a sugar‐rich resource which is essential for covering the energetic and nutritional requirements of adult parasitoids. Recent research has shown that floral nectar is ubiquitously colonized by microbes, however how nectar‐inhabiting microbes affect parasitoid performance is poorly investigated.

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

The smell of infection: Disease surveillance in insects using volatile organic compounds
Abstract Insects play crucial roles in nearly every ecosystem and provide a wide array of ecosystem services. However, both managed and wild insect populations face threats from parasites and pathogens, which require surveillance to mitigate. Current infectious disease surveillance methods for insects often involve invasive, time‐consuming and ...

Nanocarrier mediated delivery of insecticides into tarsi enhances stink bug mortality
Current delivery practices for insecticide active ingredients are inefficient with only a fraction reaching their intended target. Herein, we developed carbon dot based nanocarriers with molecular baskets (γ-cyclodextrin) that enhance the delivery of ...
