Ninfa e Gradiva: dalla percezione individuale alla memoria storica sovrapersonale

Cahiers d’Études Italiennes, 2016
There are strong similarities between the figure of the nymph in André Jolles’ Epistula Prima (1900)—the first letter in his fictive correspondence with Aby Warburg—and the spectral female character in Wilhelm Jensen’s story Gradiva (1903).

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Target‐site mutations and phenotypic failure in Myzus persicae against pyrethroids and carbamates in central Europe

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Molecular screening of 140 field‐collected Myzus persicae aphids revealed target‐site mutations L1014F, M918L, M918T, and L932F in the sodium channel and S431F in Ace2. The M918L mutation was the primary driver of high pyrethroid (cypermethrin) resistance, while S431F served as a definitive marker for carbamate (pirimicarb) resistance.

Cannibalism in Buchananiella whitei (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and its intraguild interactions with seven predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae & Laelapidae). [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Extraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...

Distracted by a plant: movement of two invasive pentatomids, Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula, between companion plants and berry crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adult Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula rapidly moved between berry crops and companion plants. Habitat use varied across environmental contexts, demonstrating that companion plantings function as dynamic elements in diversified cropping systems. Abstract BACKGROUND The brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys and the southern green stink bug ...

Lethal effects of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of nettle (Urtica dioica) on nymphs of Linguatula serrata under in vitro conditions [PDF]

تحقیقات دامپزشکی و فرآورده‌های بیولوژیک
Introduction: Linguatula serrata, commonly known as the tongue worm, is a zoonotic parasite belonging to the order Pentastomida. Its nymphal stage accumulates in the internal tissues of intermediate hosts such as ruminants, causing pathological lesions ...

Validation of a novel bioassay method for the evaluation of the activity of slow‐acting insecticides on tomato borer Phthorimaea absoluta

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Extended bioassays revealed that azadirachtin and spirotetramat show strong delayed effects against Phthorimaea absoluta, underestimated by the standard Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) method 022 protocol. Incorporating long‐term exposures is essential to accurately assess slow‐acting insecticides and improve resistance management ...

Premature/Deformed nymph production under thermal stress.

, 2023
The aphids of both clones that developed under 27°C (heatwave) produced premature deformed nymphs and thrifty dull nymphs that generally appeared normal.

Soybean plant architecture influences the capacity of Telenomus podisi to parasitize Euschistus heros eggs: implications for field releases

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing soybean plant architectural complexity reduces the ability of Telenomus podisi to parasitize Euschistus heros eggs, highlighting the need to adjust parasitoid release rates in the field according to plant complexity (arrow direction and thickness correspond to the increasing strength of the variable) . Abstract BACKGROUND Plant architectural
