Embryonic Development of Appasus japonicus Vuillefroy, With Special Reference to Mouthparts Formation (Insecta: Heteroptera, Belostomatidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 5, May 2025.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the embryonic development of Appasus japonicus, focusing on the formation of its specialized mouthparts. We identify homologies between the maxillary plate and maxillary palp and most parts of the stylet‐like mandibles and maxillae are housed within the labial palp.

From nature to nurture: Shifts in the gut microbiota of the brown marmorated stink bug under laboratory rearing conditions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 435-441, May 2025.
The gut microbiota composition of the invasive pest species Halyomorpha halys was compared between individuals collected in the field and reared in the laboratory based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Alpha and beta diversity change significantly from field‐collected to laboratory‐reared individuals and continue to change over the different generations of

Harshing the Vibes: Behavioural Responses to Predation and Deterrent Vibrational Playback in Scolypopa Australis (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 598-608, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The use of substrate borne vibrational playback to control insect pests is a rapidly growing line of research targeting many problematic species. Among the control approaches currently being tested, vibrational deterrent playbacks that aim to prevent feeding and to drive pests away from the target area are comparatively under‐explored.

Effect of plant traps and sowing dates on population density of major soybean pests

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2012
A field trial was conducted to evaluate the role of certain field crops as plant traps in soybean fields. Maize, mungbean and sunflower were sown on the borders of soybean fields to investigate their ability to attract Lampides boeticus L., Bemisia ...

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Mid‐season pest management implications for protecting soybean seed quality in North Carolina

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Soybean producers in North Carolina have shifted from later to early‐maturing varieties (MG II‐IV) to increase yield. This shift has coincided with more frequent seed damage and purple seed stain, sometimes resulting in dockage at the elevator.

Nectar‐inhabiting bacteria differently affect the longevity of co‐occurring egg parasitoid species by modifying nectar chemistry

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 186, Issue 2, Page 204-215, March 2025.
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.
