Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 363-376, June 2026.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

POPULATION DENSITY, DIURNAL ACTIVITY AND EFFECT OF TRAP HEIGHT ON CAPTURING OF PEACH FRUIT FLY, Bactrocera zonata (SAUNDERS) AND MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY, Ceratitis capitata (WIEDEMANN) IN GUAVA ORCHARDS AT NUBARIA REGION, EGYPT [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2014
Field experiments (from December 2012 to December 2013) were carried out to study the population density, the optimum trap height and optimum time for trapping the peach fruit fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata and Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF), Ceratitis ...

Toxicity, developmental and histological effects of monoterpenes on peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Journal of Crop Protection, 2019
In the present study, the toxicity of three oxygenated monoterpenes, viz., (R)-carvone, (R)-camphor and (1R, 2S, 5R)-menthol was evaluated against the adults of the peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders). Effects of these monoterpenes on oviposition, adult longevity and ovarian development have also been studied.

Assessment Effect of Gamma Radiation on the Flight Ability of the Peach Fruit Fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders)

Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013
The sterile insect technique is one of the most methods of fruit flies control. Flight ability of the Peach Fruit Fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata was conducted under laboratory conditions to evaluate the effect of gamma radiation on flight ability of PFF, B. zonata. Pupae of PFF, B.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Complex landscapes, complex diets: DNA metabarcoding reveals lady beetle prey richness increases with landcover diversity

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the capacity of mobile organisms such as insects to utilize resources across different patches in a landscape can reveal strategies for their conservation. Past research suggests that higher levels of non‐crop habitat or landcover diversity in agricultural regions typically benefit generalist predators who can fortify their diets

Cytological Characterisation of Autosomes and Sex Chromosomes in Tephritid Fruit Flies Bactrocera zonata and Zeugodacus tau (Diptera, Tephritidae)

Zoodiversity
Two fruit fly species, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders, 1842) and Zeugodacus tau (Walker, 1849) (Diptera: Tephritidae) were studied with regard to their autosomes and sex chromosomes from mitotic metaphase spreads. Both species are native to South and South-

PLDC‐Net: A Domain‐Specific Base Model for Plant Leaf Disease Classification Domain Adaptation Tasks

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant diseases are the cause of heavy losses of crop production and, therefore, a big contributor to food shortages. Identifying these diseases as early as possible is important to limit the negative effects that these diseases have on the yields, as slow response time will lead to the spread of diseases and further loss.

Functional validation of a white pupae minimal gene construct in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 491-504, April 2026.
An intronless version of the white pupae (wp) gene was engineered to restore the wild type brown puparium color in white pupae phenotype mutants of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Functionality of the minimal gene version (mini‐wp) was verified in vivo, as one copy of mini‐wp successfully restored the wild type phenotype in homozygous ...
