Tuta absoluta's population genetic structure across Africa: Two well‐delineated but weakly differentiated groups suggesting few introductions and significant gene flow Structure génétique des populations de Tuta absoluta à travers l'Afrique: deux groupes bien délimités mais faiblement différenciés suggérent peu d'introductions et un flux génétique important

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 223-240, May 2025.
Abstract Describing the genetic structure and diversity of invasive insect pest populations is essential to better understand a species' invasion history and success throughout its distribution range. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) is a destructive pest of tomato and many other solanaceous crops, with very high economic impacts. Its

Effects of Corn and Selected Weed Species on Feeding Behavior of the Stalk Borer, \u3ci\u3ePapaipema Nebris\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Experiments were conducted in an outdoor insectary to examine behavioral interactions between fifth instar stalk borers, Papaiperna nebris, and potential host plant species. Plants tested included 6- and 8-leaf stage corn, Zea mays, and ten weed species (

Thermal performance drifts between the egg parasitoid Telenomus remus and the fall armyworm may threaten the efficacy of biological control under climate change

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 338-350, May 2025.
High‐temperature acclimation pretreatment increased the parasitoid, Telenomus remus's heat tolerance, but these responses were lower than basal levels of fall armyworm, the host. High‐temperature acclimation also reduced the parasitoid's efficacy on fall armyworm eggs. Sub‐optimal high‐ and low‐temperature stress significantly reduced T.

DNA barcoding and morphological characterization of moth Antoculeora ornatissima (Walker, 1858) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a new range record from western Himalayan region of India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018
DNA barcoding of Antoculeora ornatissima (Walker, 1858) was done for the first time from India.  Redescriptions of genitalia and diagnoses of genus and species are presented with images and illustrations.

Adaptive Potential of Fall Armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Limits Bt Trait Durability in Brazil

, 2017
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is the most important corn pest in South America. Larvae feed mostly on leaves, but also ears when population densities are high.

The potential of endophytic fungi as bio-control agents against the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2019
Endophytes are promising bio-control agents and rich sources of secondary metabolites known for their biological activities. Two medicinal plants, Pelargonium graveolens and Melia azedarach, and two weeds, Chenopodium album and Malva parviflora, were ...

Pairing Residual Contact Insecticide Use With Long‐Lasting Insecticide‐Incorporated Netting to Reduce Dispersal and Damage by Stored Product Insects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 501-514, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Long‐lasting insecticide‐incorporated netting (LLIN) can intercept insects and has shown promise for pest management before and after harvest in agriculture. Understanding how to incorporate LLIN into existing integrated pest management (IPM) programs, with other commonly used tactics like residual contact insecticides, can significantly ...

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.

Tomato Defenses Under Stress: The Impact of Salinity on Direct Defenses Against Insect Herbivores

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 3647-3659, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Abiotic stressors, such as salt stress, can reduce crop productivity, and when combined with biotic pressures, such as insect herbivory, can exacerbate yield losses. However, salinity‐induced changes to plant quality and defenses can in turn affect insect herbivores feeding on plants.
