Spider Eye Development Editing and Silk Fiber Engineering Using CRISPR‐Cas
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Spiders exhibit unique traits with significant implications for a diversity of fields, and gene editing provides new opportunities for advancing research in these areas. In this study, we developed a CRISPR‐Cas9 protocol for spiders, enabling gene knock‐outs/knock‐ins to study gene function and introduce new phenotypic traits. Abstract CRISPR‐Cas9 gene

The Effects of Different Diets and Transgenerational Stress on Acyrthosiphon pisum Development. [PDF]
, 2019 Despite the fact that sap-feeding hemipterans are major agricultural pests, little is known about the pea aphid's (Acyrthosiphon pisum) nymphal development, compared to other insect models. Given our limited understanding of A.

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Higher populations of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) and increased kiwifruit damage were recorded in organic orchards, BMSB population exhibiting a consistent pattern of two generations annually over 3 years. Feeding damage peaked at 59% and 60% in October 2019 and 2021, respectively, with no significant differences in overall damage rates between ...

The Cave of the Nymphs at Pharsalos
, 2021 On the north slope of a hill called Karaplas, 1 km to the southwest of the city of Farsala (ancient Pharsalos), is a cave, well-hidden by its location on a small cliff and the surrounding vegetation. The site was first studied in the 1920's by the Italian Archaeological School at Athens.

What you eat is what we need: using ants to detect spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) DNA
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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 ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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.
