What you eat is what we need: using ants to detect spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) DNA
The workflow of the ‘antDNA’ method. Ants actively forage on honeydew produced by sap‐sucking insects such as the spotted lanternfly (SLF) and can retain it in their crops, serving as effective ‘honeydew samplers’. Combined with a simple endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular assay, the ant‐derived DNA (antDNA) method provides an ...

Resistance of Dalbulus maidis to bifenthrin was autosomal, incompletely dominant, and polygenic. Additionally, this resistance was unstable in the absence of selection pressure. Abstract BACKGROUND Pyrethroid insecticides have been a primary strategy for managing Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil. Howeve, failures in the control of D.

Abstract Some thrips (Thysanoptera) species are presumed to injure avocado and macadamia trees and fruit when feeding as nymphs and adults. We investigated the abundance and species richness of thrips and monitored fruit and nut set and damage on four avocado (Fuerte, Hass, Maluma and Pinkerton) and macadamia (695, 814, 816 and A4) cultivars. Different

Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...
