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

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

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.
