Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1097-1111, October 2025.In this study, we assessed the genetic diversity of Halyomorpha halys, an invasive agricultural pest, in Türkiye using start codon targeted (SCoT) markers and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences. SCoT markers revealed high polymorphism (91.4%) and six genetic clusters among 71 specimens from 12 provinces, with Trabzon showing ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1083-1090, October 2025.Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive pest of soft‐skinned fruits. Using fresh fruits to test pesticides and repellents against this pest has certain limitations. In the present study, we evaluated nine different artificial fruits prepared from various food‐based mixtures as oviposition substrates for D. suzukii.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1091-1096, October 2025.We report a method for rearing Diplolepis mayri (Schlechtendal) and D. rosae (Linnaeus) under controlled conditions using Rosa rubiginosa (L.) and R. canina L. wild rose shrubs. Plants were kept at a temperature of 22–23°C, 60%–70% humidity, with L14:D10 (2023) and L16:D8 (2024) photoperiod cycles. A second D.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Deterring egg predators with faecal strings is more efficient when eggs are aggregated
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 944-947, October 2025.Egg aggregation and faecal strings interact to reduce predation risk. Faecal strings enhance egg survival, but only at higher egg densities. Multiple antipredator traits are needed for effective egg defence. Abstract Predation can be a great source of mortality for insect eggs. Thus, female insects use multiple strategies to reduce it.

Salicylate plant defences reduce aphid nutritional quality and increase predator consumption
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 933-943, October 2025.Salicylic acid‐induced defences diminish Macrosiphum euphorbiae performance and nutritional quality by reducing body protein and lipid content. Ladybird beetle predators (Hippodamia convergens) consumed more low‐quality aphids compared to high‐quality aphids, exhibiting compensatory feeding response to nutrient‐deficient p prey.
