Rhizobia–Bean Symbiosis Increases Root Herbivore Attraction and Growth via Volatile Signals and Enhanced Nutrition

open access: yesPlant, 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+

Identification and Behavioral Evaluation of Sex Pheromone in Xanthopimpla pedator (Fabricius)—A Serious Pupal Parasitoid of Tropical Tasar Silkworm Anthereae mylitta Drury

open access: yesHayati Journal of Biosciences, 2016
Xanthopimpla is a major parasitoid of silk worm cocoons. The female Xanthopimpla pedator (Fabricius) lays the eggs in male cocoons. Control of this infestation with pesticides is not recommended because of its concealed behavior.

Some Relative Humidity Reactions of the Wood-Louse, Cylisticus Convexus (Isopoda: Porcellionidae) in an Olfactometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Generally, wood-lice are confined to habitats where the saturation deficit is low and damp surfaces are available. Cylisticus convexus (De Geer) is one of many species that are found in a relatively wet habitat (Edney, 1954).

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

open access: yesPlant 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.

Green Oil‐in‐Water Nanoemulsions for Delivery of Phytochemicals With Pesticidal Activity for Sustainable Food Production and Safety

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Green oil‐in‐water (O/W) nanoemulsions incorporating essential oils (EOs) and food‐derived compounds are gaining prominence as biopesticidal platforms that address the growing demand for sustainable agriculture, food safety, and reduced chemical inputs.

Modular and scalable system for 3D behavioural assays of olfactory and gustatory preferences in flying insects

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1101-1111, April 2026.
Abstract Plant–pollinator interactions are fundamental to the functioning of natural ecosystems and the enhancement of agricultural productivity. An effective support of pollinator communities necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying pollinator attraction and nutritional preferences.

Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.

Investigation of negative cross-resistance as a resistance-management tool for insecticide-treated nets.

open access: yes, 2004
Resistance management for insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) remains a challenge. Options are limited, because a safe and highly active insecticide with a persistence of several months is required.
