Integrated Management of European Cherry Fruit Fly Rhagoletis cerasi (L.): Situation in Switzerland and Europe [PDF]
, 2012 : The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest. The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the complex dynamics of dengue transmission by incorporating time delay into a comprehensive model. The model is designed to capture several essential components, including steady‐state events, immune waning, recuperation from infection, and partial shielding in human populations.

Reverse chemical ecology approach for the identification of an oviposition attractant for Culex quinquefasciatus. [PDF]
, 2018 Pheromones and other semiochemicals play a crucial role in today's integrated pest and vector management strategies. These semiochemicals are typically discovered by bioassay-guided approaches.

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers trigger plants to release volatile organic compounds that deter herbivores, attract parasitic wasps, and boost defense responses, highlighting their potential for sustainable pest management. Abstract Grasping the dynamics between plants and herbivores, as well as the defenses triggered by insects, may hold ...

Insect chemosensory proteins as targets in insecticide resistance and development
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.This review addresses the biological and chemical properties of insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and presents their functional advancements, not only in olfaction but also in nonolfactory processes, particularly in relation to insecticide resistance.

Diurnal Oviposition of Blow Flies in Different Aged Carrion [PDF]
, 2018 Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are among the first insects to oviposit (lay eggs) on carrion. The timing of blow fly oviposition is critical for determining a postmortem interval (PMI) estimation, which is the time that has passed between death and ...

Some Effects of Photoperiod and Cold Storage on Oviposition of the Cereal Leaf Beetle Oulema Melanopus (Coleptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
, 2017 An expanded program of research on the cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus (L.), in various north-central states has made it necessary to develop methods of rearing all stages of the beetle for laboratory use. Because the insect survives diapause in the

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible
Oikos, EarlyView.For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The zoophytophagous predator Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is capable of inducing plant defenses in tomato due to its phytophagous behavior. These induced defenses, which include the release of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs)
