Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 382-397, August 2026.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 508-514, August 2026.
Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...

Laboratory Biology, Immature and Adult Morphology of Trichopria drosophilae (Perkins) (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae), Parasitoids of Drosophila Flies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 863-875, August 2026.
This study investigates the laboratory biology and morphology of the parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae, which targets Drosophila flies, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. Key findings include a detailed description of the parasitoid's egg, three larval instars, and pupal stage, as well as unique behaviors such as siblicide and encapsulation in ...

Effect of pheromone trap sizes and colors on capture of Leopard moth, Zeuzera pyrina (Lepidoptera: Cossidae)

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2014
The Leopard moth, Zeuzera pyrina (L.) (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) is a serious pest of walnut and apple trees in Iran. One of the control methods for this pest is the mass trapping of males using pheromone traps. To determine the best size and color of traps,

A DNA‐based phylogeny confirms the occurrence of Pseudips mexicanus (Hopkins, 1906) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae: Ipini) in Ireland

open access: yesEPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 294-297, August 2026.
Abstract Specimens of an unknown Ipini were trapped during 2023–2024 exotic forest pest surveys in County Clare, Ireland. This non‐native species was provisionally identified as Pseudips mexicanus (Hopkins, 1906) with morphological identification keys. However, damaged specimens could not be confidently identified to the species level.

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2577-2607, August 2026.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Factors influencing the pheromone trap catch of Phthorimaea operculella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in storage

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2020
Potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella (Lep.: Gelechiidae) is a serious pest of potato, Solanum tuberosum (Solanaceae). To study factors influencing capture of male PTM by pheromone traps, two sets of experiments were conducted in a split-plot ...

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Trapping of Lobesia botrana with sexual traps in relation to pheromone dosage in the dispenser

open access: yes, 1983
Several experiments have been performed on sexual trapping of L. botrana males with different pheromone concentrations (E7, Z9 DDA). Performance classification was difficult and seemed to depend of several factors. High concentrations (10 mg in the dispenser) seemed to be attractive at long range and this effect was enhanced by the trap location in the
