Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Comparing verbenone‐based repellents for ambrosia beetle management in eastern apple orchards
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Non‐native ambrosia beetles (Xylosandrus germanus, X. crassiusculus, Anisandrus maiche) damage high‐density apple orchards across the eastern United States, motivating the search for selective, semiochemical‐based repellent strategies. Across Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, three verbenone formulations, sachets, SPLAT® VERB and a test SPLAT ...
