Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Encapsulation and Melanization Are Not Correlated to Successful Immune Defense Against Parasitoid Wasps in Drosophila melanogaster

Cells
Parasitoid elimination in Drosophila melanogaster involves special hemocytes, called lamellocytes, which encapsulate the eggs or larvae of the parasitoid wasps. The capsules are melanized, and metabolites of the melanization reaction may play a potential

Therapeutic Bark Gouging as an Effective Complement for the Management of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus While Preserving Habitat for Secondary Scolytine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Norway spruce will likely remain an important tree species in Europe over the next few decades despite efforts to transform forests and reduce its distribution range more to its natural range. Consequently, Ips typographus will remain one of the most relevant forest pests the management of which will become increasingly challenging due to ...

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.

The influence of plant fertilisation regime on plant-aphid-parasitoid interactions [PDF]

, 2003
This thesis examines effects of plant fertilisation regime on herbivore and parasitoid performance for two aphids, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Myzus persicae, and one parasitoid wasp, Aphidius ervi. Herbivore performance was measured as adult fresh weight

How Accurately Do Species Distribution Models Predict the Expansion of Invasive Insects, and Does Climate Data Choice Matter? Insights From the Invasion of Dryocosmus kuriphilus

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Parasitoid Wasp Inostemma striaticornu Bu hl (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) in Crops of Bell Pepper in Argentina

Acta Zoológica Lilloana, 2018
Some species of the genus Inostemma have been recorded in pests associ- ated with numerous botanical families, the current work records the presence of the men- tioned parasitoid in an area of high plant diversity in La Plata, Argentina.

Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...
