PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region

Counties not countries: Variation in host specificity among populations of an aphid parasitoid
Evolutionary Applications, 2019 Parasitic wasps are among the most species‐rich groups on Earth. A major cause of this diversity may be local adaptation to host species. However, little is known about variation in host specificity among populations within parasitoid species.

Parasitoids and Polydnaviruses [PDF]
BioScience, 1998 E ndoparasitic wasps develop within other insects and, invariably, kill their hosts. Because they cause host death, they are unlike other parasites that debilitate but do not kill their hosts; endoparasitic wasps are therefore designated as parasitoids (Godfray 1994).

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

The Effects of Aphid Traits on Parasitoid Host Use and Specialist Advantage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Specialization is a central concept in ecology and one of the fundamental properties of parasitoids. Highly specialized parasitoids tend to be more efficient in host-use compared to generalized parasitoids, presumably owing to the trade-off between host ...

Parasitoid wasp usurps its host to guard its pupa against hyperparasitoids and induces rapid behavioral changes in the parasitized host. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Some parasites have an ability to fabricate the behavior of their host and impel the host to guard parasites' offspring, which is popularly called as bodyguard manipulation.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The classical biological control program with Trissolcus japonicus in Trentino effectively reduced Halyomorpha halys damage in apple orchards, increasing discovery efficiency and egg parasitization rates from 2020 to 2023. The results demonstrate reduced pesticide use and fruit damage, highlighting CBC as a sustainable pest management strategy against ...
