Optimizing Sex Ratio and Colony Size to Enhance Reproduction and Mass‐Rearing in Spodoptera litura Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Skewed sex ratios frequently constrain colony performance and limit the efficiency of large‐scale rearing systems. For Spodoptera litura, the 1:1 initial sex ratio maximizes female longevity and fecundity. When this ratio is scaled to colony sizes of 20:20, 40:40 and 60:60, the 40:40 configuration yields the best overall reproductive performance, while

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4319-4331, May 2026.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 782-794, May 2026.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.
