Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season. In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...

Suitability of Selected Broad-Leaved Weeds for Survival and Growth of Two Stalk-Boring \u3ci\u3eHydraecia\u3c/i\u3e Species (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Third instar hop vine borer (Hydraecia immanis) and potato stem borer (H. micacea) are new pest species on corn in the Midwest. Early instar larvae feed on small-stemmed grasses, and later instar larvae switch to broad- stemmed hosts to complete ...

Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader
Ecography, EarlyView.While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.

Revision of family Noctuidae of Egypt (3) Subfamilies “Acontiinae, Agaristinae, Amphipyrinae and Hadeninae” (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) [PDF]
Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences. A, Entomology, 2020 In the last 2 papers for the revision of Noctuidae in Egypt, we revised 7 subfamilies (Xyleninae, Acronictinae, Heliothinae, Metoponiinae, Noctuinae, Oncocnemidinae, and Plusiinae) from the 16 subfamilies belonging to family Noctuidae. In this study, we are exposed to revise four subfamilies which are Acontiinae, Agaristinae, Amphipyrinae, and ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We examined how various trapping, fixation, and preservation methods affect the DNA quality of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera specimens. We found that propylene glycol and cyanide vapors effectively preserved DNA, whereas brine provided a cost‐efficient alternative.

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 ...
