Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Amendment of Potting Soil With Black Soldier Fly Byproducts Affects Fungus Gnat Development
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.The study's three experiments were conducted in accordance with the development stages of fungus gnats, with adults emerging from the four treatment substrates and being caught on sticky cards as a common indicator. The treatments were formed from peat‐free potting soil, either pure or supplemented with combinations of byproducts from black soldier fly

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015 Highlight In plant immunity against nematodes, MPK3/6 act positively and their activity is controlled by the MAPK phosphatase AP2C1. The MAPK activation pattern suggests the attenuation of defence signalling during nematode infection.

A tale of three kingdoms: Members of the Phylum Nematoda independently acquired the detoxifying enzyme cyanase through horizontal gene transfer from plants and bacteria [PDF]
, 2018 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played an important role in the evolution of nematodes. Among candidate genes, cyanase, which is typically found only in plants, bacteria and fungi, is present in more than 35 members of the Phylum Nematoda, but absent ...

Antiparasitic activity of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and its natural bioactive compounds in livestock: a review [PDF]
, 2018 Increasing drug resistance in gastrointestinal (GI) parasites of livestock and concerns about chemical residues in animal products and the environment are driving the development of alternative control strategies that are less reliant on the use of ...

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...
