The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Evaluation of Trap Crops and the Presence of the Predator Nabis americoferus for the Management of the Tarnished Plant Bug in Strawberries

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 3, Page 372-383, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The polyphagous tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), inflicts substantial damage to strawberries and to several other valuable crops, impacting both yield quantity and quality. Effective control strategies are crucial to mitigate these losses. This study aimed to elucidate TPB host preferences

Characterising Hot Spots of Mediterranean Fruit Fly Infestation in Apple Orchards: Implications for Pest Monitoring and Management

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly, Ceratitis capitata [Wiedemann]) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a significant pest causing sizeable economic burden and fruit damage to crops worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean area. In deciduous orchards, monitoring the population of Mediterranean flies is an intensive and expensive process.
