Species Composition and Emergence Patterns of Agriotes litigiosus, A. brevis and A. sordidus (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in Central Italy

Insects
Click beetles (Agriotes spp.) are major agricultural pests whose larvae, known as wireworms, cause serious damage to a wide range of crops. Effective management requires a clear understanding of species composition and adult emergence patterns.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

Assessment of the occurrence of the second generation of Mythimna loreyi Duponchel (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) using temperature-dependent developmental and oviposition models.

PLoS ONE
A significant crop pest, Mythimna loreyi, migrates annually to Korea and has been frequently observed in rice and corn fields. However, the phenology of this pest, particularly in relation to its ecological interactions and host crop seasons in Korea ...

The Importance of the Larval Parasitoid Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Low Density Eastern Spruce Budworm Populations

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is an important larval tachinid parasitoid during low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. In the late 1980s during the outbreak collapse, Meteorus trachynotus was initially the most important species, but was replaced by A. interrupta. Host patch size and density had no impact on the parasitism rates by A.

Physiological Host Range of the Tachinid Istocheta aldrichi, a Potential Biological Control Agent for the Japanese Beetle in Europe

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

A defensive symbiont and a plant virus confer direct and discrete phenotypes to a cereal aphid in a context‐dependent manner

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Different BYDV‐PAV isolates exert contrasting effects on aphid fitness, including reproduction and winged production. Different BYDV‐PAV isolates have contrasting effects on aphid dispersal patterns. Aphid feeding behaviour is modulated by the presence of endosymbionts and plant viruses.

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.
