Biodiversity, Phylogeny, and Evolutionary Dynamics of Gall Midges on Japanese Beech Trees
Leaf galls of 29 types were collected from Japanese endemic beech trees (Fagus L.). Most of the gall inducers formed a monophyletic clade within the tribe Dasineurini. The Fagus‐feeding gall midges underwent adaptive radiation since the Miocene, accompanied by multiple host shifts between F. crenata and F. japonica.

The amounts and types of epicuticular waxes on onion (Allium cepa) leaves affect feeding damage by onion thrips (Thrips tabaci). This study used gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) to establish the identities of waxes and measure over time wax ...

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in performance of thrips on Chrysanthemum accessions
Fitness of pests on host plants can differ between populations and species. Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was collected at five locations in the Netherlands, and their genetic diversity was characterized, revealing the presence of both the glasshouse and lupin strain.

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

Herbivore prevalence poorly predicts yield in diverse cropping systems
Our study shows that the design and characteristics of cropping systems should be considered when assessing insect herbivory effects on crop yield. As herbivorous insects have a smaller impact on yield in diverse cropping systems, crop diversification may synergize biodiversity conservation and food production. Abstract Industrialized agriculture needs
