Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Biological Control Agent of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 335-342, April 2026.
First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.

Surveillance of ash trees under multiple threats: Integrating emerald ash borer and ash dieback dynamics with stakeholder behaviour

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tree‐health policies must balance identifying likely entry points and deployment of traps, targeted information campaigns and surveillance subsidies for land managers. Our unique, cross‐disciplinary approach can be applied to other pest/pathogen systems to inform tree‐health plans and how to balance resources.

Phylogenomic insights into the origin of the Norton grape

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1458-1468, September 2025.
Challenges in viticulture such as disease resistance have renewed interest in underutilized cultivars. The Norton grape, one of the earliest popular North American grape cultivars, holds the potential to produce exceptional wine while being resistant to pests and disease. Yet, the ancestry of the Norton grape is controversial.

Utilización regional de baculovirus en el control de plagas hortícolas

RIA: Revista Investigaciones Agropecuarias, 2021
Los baculovirus son patógenos aislados de insectos, principalmente del orden Lepidoptera. Se caracterizan por su alta especificidad, pues poseen un espectro de hospedadores reducido, y por ser inocuos para artrópodos benéficos, plantas y mamíferos. Estas

Cacao grafting increases crop yield without compromising biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 579-592, March 2025.
Grafting is a successful approach for rejuvenating old, unproductive cacao trees, enhancing smallholder income opportunities and thus reducing pressure for new deforestation‐based plantations. Grafting briefly reduced arthropod abundance and diversity, but recovered in a short time.

Linking landscape structure, floral resource distribution, pollen use and movement distances of a generalist predator

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2798-2808, November 2024.
Our findings suggest that the spatial distribution of flowering wild plants can inform movement patterns of lacewings and other flower‐visiting insects in agricultural landscapes. In addition, the location of floral resources in the landscape is important for its capacity to sustain natural enemies. Given the strong reliance of lacewings on pollen from

Microbe‐induced plant resistance against insect pests depends on timing of inoculation but is consistent across climatic conditions

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 848-860, April 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract To cope with abiotic and biotic stressors, plants have developed mutualistic associations with beneficial soil microbes, but little is known about how extreme abiotic conditions impact on microbe‐induce resistance to insect herbivores.

Plagas en granos almacenados contra plantas de origen etnobotánico: Una revisión sistemática

Ra Ximhai
El control de plagas en granos almacenados, especialmente del picudo del maíz (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky) y el gorgojo pardo del frijol (Acanthoscelides obtectus Say), es crucial para la seguridad alimentaria. Ante los impactos negativos de los insecticidas sintéticos, el conocimiento etnobotánico ofrece alternativas sustentables.
