Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi affect phytophagous insect specialism

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2002
The majority of phytophagous insects eat very few plant species, yet the ecological and evolutionary forces that have driven such specialism are not entirely understood. The hypothesis that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can determine phytophagous insect specialism, through differential effects on insect growth, was tested using examples from the ...

A conceptual model for the diapause intensity curve and termination in overwintering Japanese pine sawyer larvae, Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

Phytophagous insects in a siberian stone pine clone archive

open access: yesAnnals of Forest Research, 2013
This study was carried on in a Siberian stone pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) clone archive located in the south of the Tomsk Region. Fourteen species of phytophagous insect pests were found in this clonal archive.Pineus cembrae is the most frequent insect

Factors shaping community assemblages and species co-occurrence of different trophic levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Species assemblages are the results of various processes, including dispersion and habitat filtering. Disentangling the effects of these different processes is challenging for statistical analysis, especially when biotic interactions should be considered.

Green Oil‐in‐Water Nanoemulsions for Delivery of Phytochemicals With Pesticidal Activity for Sustainable Food Production and Safety

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Green oil‐in‐water (O/W) nanoemulsions incorporating essential oils (EOs) and food‐derived compounds are gaining prominence as biopesticidal platforms that address the growing demand for sustainable agriculture, food safety, and reduced chemical inputs.

L'impact du miellat de puceron au niveau des relations tritrophiques entre les plantes-hôtes, les insectes ravageurs et leurs ennemis naturels [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2009
Aphid honeydew impact on the tritrophic relationships between host-plants, phytophagous insects and their natural enemies. Tritrophic relations between plants, phytophagous insects and beneficials are based on the presence of chemical cues in the ...

Investigations on Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): larval infestation on the tomato cultivated in open field and evaluation of five essential oils against larvae in laboratory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The tomato miner Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a Neotropical species, which cause serious damages to tomato in spread areas. It appeared in 2008 in Italy, where it seriously threatened tomato production both in greenhouse and open ...

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

Food, shelter or competitors? Overlapping of life stages and host plant selection in a Neotropical stink bug species

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2017
Phytophagous insects may choose host plants based on conditions that enhance offspring performance. However, some insect species may also select plants based on attributes that enhance their own performance regardless of the consequences for offspring ...
