Toxicity and cytopathology mediated by Bacillus thuringiensis in the midgut of Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Scientific Reports, 2019
Bioinsecticides and transgenic plants, based on Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins are important when managing Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a soybean defoliator pest. The interaction of these toxins with the caterpillar’s midgut

Transcriptional response in larvae of the generalist fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua feeding on three different tropical host plants

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.

Female moths call in vain: Streetlights diminish the promise of mating Weibliche Duftstoffe ohne Wirkung: Straßenbeleuchtung reduziert Paarungsaussichten bei Nachtfaltern

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Male moth (Sphinx ligustri L.) flight behaviour was studied in a flight tunnel under varying light‐emitting diode (LED) types and intensities to assess arrival location, flight duration and direction changes. In a homogeneous light environment, all tested LEDs significantly reduced arrival frequency of males at the females compared with a dim light ...
