Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Spatial Distribution of Paysandisia archon (Burmeister) (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) Infestation on Palms in the City of Pesaro

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paysandisia archon is a South American castniid moth unintentionally introduced in Europe through the international plant trade and first reported there in the early 2000s. Its larvae cause severe damage to palms (Arecaceae) by feeding on the apical meristem and excavating inside the trunk, leading to structural instability and eventual plant ...

Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Rainforest transformation reduces parasitoid wasp diversity—Can the enrichment of flowering vegetation alleviate this? [PDF]

In Indonesia, the rapid expansion of oil palm and rubber plantations replaces large areas of tropical rainforest. Rainforest transformation alters the diversity and composition of parasitoid wasp communities, but appropriate management strategies to ...

Geographical proliferation of ongoing novel host use by the herbivorous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, December 2026.
The geographical extent of occurrence of the Solanaceae‐feeding Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata on the novel fabaceous host Centrosema molle and the ability of larvae from several beetle populations to develop on C. molle were investigated to depict the incipient phase in the speciation continuum of herbivorous ladybird beetles.

Host-parasitoid development and survival strategies in a non-pollinating fig wasp community

, 2018
In a tritrophic system, parasitoid development and galler host survival strategies have rarely been investigated simultaneously, an approach crucial for a complete understanding of the complexity of host-parasitoid interactions. Strategies in parasitoids

Uncovering the Diversity of Mesostoinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): A Glimpse Into the Australian Fauna Through a Study of Kangaroo Island

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mesostoinae are a poorly understood braconid subfamily with unresolved morphological challenges and a complex taxonomic history. This study provides insight into the biodiversity of this subfamily on Kangaroo Island (KI), South Australia.

Multifaceted Defenses Against Parasitoid Wasps in Diptera

Annual Review of Genetics
Parasitoid wasps are a large and diverse group of species that infect a wide variety of insect hosts. In response, hosts have evolved numerous defensive strategies to protect against infection. Here, we review the immune and behavioral defense responses of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...
