Behavioural and Physiological Evidence of Monandry in the Tomato Fruit Borer, Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guen.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the benefits of multiple mating to females, many moths appear to be monandrous. A curious case involves the tomato fruit borer, Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenée); this species is supposedly monogamous particularly due to its short adult lifespan. However, N.

Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Adult Abundance and Larval Host Plant Use in the Ord River Irrigation Area, Western Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in

When Winters Fail: How Warming Winters Fuel Pest Resurgence and Threaten Food Security

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann; Diptera: Tephritidae), commonly known as the Medfly, re‐emerged in Mazandaran province, northern Iran—home to an estimated 25% of the nation's fruit crops and approximately 80% of its citrus production—following its apparent eradication in 1984, an outcome consistent with several ...

Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9538-9552, October 2026.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

PCR‐based species identification tools for wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of economic importance in Canada

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9998-10010, October 2026.
Species‐specific PCR primers and PCR‐based assays were designed for the identification of 15 economically important and difficult to distinguish wireworm pests in Canada. PCR specificity testing and performance assessments confirm the accuracy of the assays.
