Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of the lawn cutworm Spodoptera depravata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
The lawn cutworm, Spodoptera depravata, is one of the most important pests that causes economic damage to grass crops. This study reports the complete mitochondrial genome of an S. depravata sample collected in China. The genome is a circular molecule 15,

Host recognition and acceptance behaviour in Cotesia sesamiae and C. flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), parasitoids of gramineous stemborers in Africa

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
The host recognition and acceptance behaviour of two braconid larval parasitoids (Cotesia sesamiae and C. flavipes) were studied using natural stemborer hosts (i.e., the noctuid Busseola fusca for C.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Athetis pallidipennis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The Athetis pallidipennis belongs to Noctuidae in Lepidoptera. The complete mitogenome of A. pallidipennis was described in this study, which is typical circular duplex molecules and 15,344 bp in length, containing the standard metazoan set of 13 protein-

Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Anarta trifolii (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The Anarta trifolii belongs to Noctuidae in Lepidoptera. The complete mitogenome of A. trifolii was described in this study, which is typical circular duplex molecules and 15,281 bp in length, containing the standard metazoan set of 13 protein-coding ...

Peptidic product derived from trypsin autolysis modulates insect digestive proteases and supports plant biochemical defense

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
XXXX Abstract BACKGROUND Spodoptera frugiperda, commonly known as the fall armyworm, is a highly economically significant pest that affects various crops, resulting in substantial losses in productivity. Managing this pest primarily relies on chemical insecticides; however, the repeated development of resistance to these chemicals has rendered them ...

Separate and synergistic anti‐herbivore effects of non‐glandular trichomes and leaf chemistry in a desert plant

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...
