Classical biological control of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) in apple orchard: a success story

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The classical biological control program with Trissolcus japonicus in Trentino effectively reduced Halyomorpha halys damage in apple orchards, increasing discovery efficiency and egg parasitization rates from 2020 to 2023. The results demonstrate reduced pesticide use and fruit damage, highlighting CBC as a sustainable pest management strategy against ...

Morphological description of Amblyomma brasiliense Aragão, 1908 (Acari: Ixodidae) larvae and nymphs Descrição morfológica de larvas e ninfas de Amblyomma brasiliense Aragão, 1908 (Acari: Ixodidae)

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009
The immature stages of Neotropical ticks are poorly known and in many cases have not been described. This work presents a morphological description of Amblyomma brasiliense larvae (F1) and a redescription of nymphs (F1). A. brasiliense is reported as one

Ecomorphological diversification of the Late Palaeozoic Palaeodictyopterida reveals different larval strategies and amphibious lifestyle in adults [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
The Late Palaeozoic insect superorder Palaeodictyopterida exhibits a remarkable disparity of larval ecomorphotypes, enabling these animals to occupy diverse ecological niches.

Heptageniidae (Ephemeroptera) of Wisconsin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
(excerpt) Heptageniidae are one of the most abundant and widespread components of Wisconsin\u27s aquatic insect fauna. In almost any stream with a firm substrate and free of gross pollution, the flattened nymphs can be found hiding in crevasses and under

Evaluating antibiosis resistance to cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L., 1758) in vegetable brassicas (Brassica oleracea L.) and related C‐genome brassica species

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Nineteen Brassica accessions were screened for antibiosis resistance to Brevicoryne brassicae. Significant variation in resistance was identified. Detailed bioassays suggest that varietal effects upon aphid pre‐reproductive period conferred observed resistance.

Clouds, shadows, or twilight? Mayfly nymphs recognise the difference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
1. We examined the relative changes in light intensity that initiate night-time locomotor activity changes in nymphs of the mayfly, Stenonema modestum (Heptageniidae).

Bed bug preferences for host odor or aggregation odor are differentially modulated by physiological state in various odorscapes

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...

A natural barrier: tick‐repellent potential of a spruce‐derived volatile blend against Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.
