Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Territorial spatial optimization is a key strategy to promote long‐term regional sustainable development. Although ant colony optimization (ACO) is widely used in territorial spatial optimization, it is prone to local optima and offers limited integration of spatial suitability and regional heterogeneity. To address these problems, an adaptive

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Using pheromones to understand cryptic lizard diversity [PDF]
, 2019 Stephen Zozaya studied the role of pheromones in the evolution of Australia's lizard diversity. He found that some lizard species—even though we can't tell them apart—use pheromones to tell each other apart.

Losing the Arms Race: Greater Wax Moths Sense but Ignore Bee Alarm Pheromones
Insects, 2019 The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella L., is one of main pests of honeybees. The larvae burrow into the wax, damaging the bee comb and degenerating bee products, but also causes severe effects like driving the whole colony to abscond.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.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.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Sex specific traits are involved in speciation but it is difficult to determine whether their variation initiates or reinforces sexual isolation. In some insects, speciation depends of the rapid change of expression in desaturase genes coding for sex ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...
