Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta-analysis in insects. [PDF]
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Pest categorisation of Citripestis sagittiferella. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus pulp borer, Citripestis sagittiferella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), for the EU. This oligophagous species, which feeds on Citrus spp., occurs in Southeast Asia, mostly in lowlands but can also be found up to 1,200 m above sea level. Adults oviposit on citrus fruit at any

Efficiency of Some Insecticides in Controlling Citrus Leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) [PDF]
The toxicity of four commercial insecticides (mineral oil, azadirachtin, phenthoate and abamectin) in addition to mint oil (variety of terpenoids), against the citrus leaf-miner, Phyllocnistis citrella, larvae, was tested under laboratory conditions using the leaf-dipping method. The bioassay data indicated that abamectin was the most toxic insecticide

Status and outlook for acaricide and insecticide discovery
Since 2008, around 89% of the launched products (one acaricide and eight insecticides) have contained halogen atoms, in most cases fluorine, but also ‘mixed’ halogen atoms, for example chlorine and fluorine. Of these, three insecticides have been launched as racemic mixtures of enantiomers and one as an enantiomerically pure semi‐synthetic natural ...
