Evidence of stochastic resonance in the mating behavior of Nezara viridula (L.) [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal B, 2008
We investigate the role of the noise in the mating behavior between individuals of Nezara viridula (L.), by analyzing the temporal and spectral features of the non-pulsed type female calling song emitted by single individuals. We have measured the threshold level for the signal detection, by performing experiments with the calling signal at different ...

Combination of UV and green light synergistically enhances the attractiveness of light to green stink bugs Nezara spp

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The southern green stink bug Nezara viridula and its congener N. antennata are important agricultural pests worldwide. These species show positive phototaxis and their compound eyes have high sensitivity to UV and green lights.

BpWRKY6 regulates insect resistance by affecting jasmonic acid and terpenoid synthesis in Betula platyphylla

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Forest pests and diseases pose serious threats to the sustainable development of forestry. Plants have developed effective resistance mechanisms through long‐term evolution. Jasmonic acid and terpenoids play important roles in the defence response of plants against insects.

Sensing of Substrate Vibrations in the Adult Cicada Okanagana rimosa (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Detection of substrate vibrations is an evolutionarily old sensory modality and is important for predator detection as well as for intraspecific communication. In insects, substrate vibrations are detected mainly by scolopidial (chordotonal) sense organs

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Plautia crossota (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In this study, we elucidated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Plautia crossota. The circular mitogenome is 16,809 bp long, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region.

C-banding, fluorescent staining and NOR location in holokinetic chromosomes of bugs of the Neotropical genus Antiteuchus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Discocephalinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Different cytogenetic techniques including C-banding, base-specific fluorochromes and silver nitrate staining were used to compare the karyotypes of three species of bugs, representatives of the Neotropical genus Antiteuchus, namely A.

Overwintering Does Not Affect Microbiota Diversity in Halyomorpha halys: Implications for Its Ecology and Management

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
We challenged the assumption that overwintering significantly alters host microbiota composition, finding no differences between Halyomorpha halys populations sampled before and after overwintering. This microbiota stability underscores its role in the invasive pest's resilience and provides insights for ecological management strategies.

First detection of the Nearctic parasitoid species Trichopoda pennipes (Fabricius) (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Egypt

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
Specimens of the feather-legged fly, Trichopoda pennipes (Fabricius) (Diptera: Tachinidae), which parasitize adults of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), have been detected in Giza, Egypt.
