Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

A. phagocytophilum infections have been detected from various rodent hosts and the associated ticks from different sites throughout the globe. Ixodes ticks were the most frequent tick observed in the studies, followed by Dermacentor tick and Haemaphysalis tick species. Apodemus rodent species were frequently observed, followed by Microtus spp.

Dehydration worsens heat tolerance of locusts and amplifies predicted impacts of climate change
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract By increasing the mean and variance of environmental temperatures, climate change has caused local extinctions and range shifts that are likely to intensify over time.

Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Abstract 1. The invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), Adelges tsugae (Annand) (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), has spread throughout most of the range of eastern hemlock, Tsuga canandensis (L.), and the entire range of Carolina hemlock, Tsuga caroliniana (Engelman), in the United States. 2. Integrated pest management (IPM) of HWA combines chemical applications

We compared three tools for assessing invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), host plant usage. Baited traps were deployed to measure populations in tree canopies but found no differences. We tagged insects to track their retention on fruit hosts using harmonic radar; peach and baited apple trees were ...

The gut microbiota composition of the invasive pest species Halyomorpha halys was compared between individuals collected in the field and reared in the laboratory based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Alpha and beta diversity change significantly from field‐collected to laboratory‐reared individuals and continue to change over the different generations of

ABSTRACT Introduction Humans acquire tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) from infected ticks contacted during outdoor activities. Outdoor activity is at its highest in urban green spaces, where the presence of tick populations has increasingly been observed. Consequently, more insight into factors influencing the presence of ticks therein is needed.
