Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Unveiling the phloem: a battleground for plant pathogens

Phytopathology Research
Phloem is the primary conduit for transporting photosynthates and signaling molecules in plants, facilitating communication between various plant organs.

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

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
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.

Three‐Dimensional Architecture of Ectopic Epithelium and Vasculature in Ovarian Endometriosis Revealed by Tissue‐Clearing Imaging

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Our study employed a modified tissue‐clearing method combined with deep imaging for 3D reconstruction of ovarian endometriosis (OEM) lesions, revealing its morphological polymorphism at tissue and cellular levels. Besides, vessels preferentially clustered around the ectopic epithelium, with their distribution pattern strongly linked to the location of ...

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Phloem-mobile messenger RNAs and root development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Numerous signal molecules move through the phloem to regulate development, including proteins, secondary metabolites, small RNAs and full-length transcripts.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

Dose‐Dependent Effect of Plant Volatiles on the Oviposition Preference of the Corn Leafhopper Dalbulus maidis

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major annual crop cultivated worldwide. In the Americas, the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a key pest of this crop, causing direct damage to plants through phloem feeding and indirect damage by transmitting phytopathogens.

Mechanisms of manganese uptake and long-distance transport in the hyperaccumulator Celosia argentea Linn.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Celosia argentea Linn. is a hyperaccumulator for the remediation of manganese (Mn)-contaminated soil owing to its rapid growth, high decontamination capacity, and strong stress resistance.
