Host choice and host leaving in Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae) emigrants and repellency of aphid colonies on the winter host [PDF]
, 2000 Host choice and winter-host leaving in emigrants of bird cherry–oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus), were investigated in the laboratory. In settling choice tests, emigrants collected from the winter host, Prunus padus, preferred this plant over ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Detection of Volatile Constituents from Food Lures by Tephritid Fruit Flies
Insects, 2018 Tephritid fruit flies require protein for sexual and gonotrophic development. Food-based lures are therefore widely used in strategies to detect and control fruit flies in the Tephritidae family.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]
, 2018 In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 168-178, March 2026.ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

Exploring the Controllability of Microbial Metabolism on the Flavor of Chinese Baijiu
eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.Regulation of flavor compounds by core functional microorganisms. ABSTRACT The flavor and quality of Baijiu are closely related to the environment and microbial metabolism. The microbial community structure is highly dynamic in time and space, making it trouble to control the flavor and quality of Baijiu. Therefore, this paper reviewed the role of core
