Abundance, diversity and development of thrips (Thysanoptera) on avocados and macadamias in the Levubu region of Limpopo Province, South Africa

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
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

Dietary range varies among Aphis craccivora populations associated with different host plants: Insights into the alfalfa–cowpea aphid system in Spain

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 724-736, July 2025.
We conducted host specialization trials with three different Aphis craccivora populations. They revealed the generalist nature of the alfalfa‐origin population, which thrived when shifted to both black locust and vetch. Conversely, populations originating from black locust and vetch showed high host specialization, performing poorly when shifted to ...

Within‐generational but not cross‐generational effects of host plant on Myzus persicae performance and preferences

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 756-766, July 2025.
Green peach aphids (Myzus persicae) maintained on different host plants (bok choy, clover and potato) for 15 generations were evaluated on each host plant to understand the impacts of within‐generational and cross‐generational effects on their performance.

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 21, June 5, 2025.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

Positive Molecular Detection of Rickettsia helvetica in Great Tits From Central Poland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Great Tits were trapped in central Poland from three different habitats: a suburban forest, an urban park, and green patches near the city center. Ixodes ricinus species and samples of birds blood were collected from birds. Blood samples and ticks were molecularly tested for the presence of Rickettsia. Tick infestation was low at 5.5%.

Redescubrimiento de Neopentura semifusca (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae), descripción del imago macho, redescripción de la hembra y la ninfa Rediscovery of Neopentura semifusca (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae), description of the male imago, redescription of the female and the nymph

open access: yesRevista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2006
Se describen ambos sexos y la ninfa de Neopentura semifusca Illies, 1965. El macho es descrito por primera vez. La ninfa corresponde a la «Ninfa A» descrita tentativamente por Illies para Araucanioperla . Se discute la clasificación a nivel de subfamilia

Target gene selection for sprayable dsRNA‐based biopesticide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3055-3065, June 2025.
Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...
