Does thermal variability experienced at the egg stage influence life history traits across life cycle stages in a small invertebrate? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Although effects of thermal stability on eggs have often been considered in vertebrates, there is little data thermal stability in insect eggs even though these eggs are often exposed in nature to widely fluctuating ambient conditions.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 497-505, May 2026.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.

Report of the parasitoid wasp, Cotesia plutellae (Hym.: Braconidae), from Iran [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2008 This paper reports the occurrence of the hymenoterous parasitoid of the diamondback moth larvae in Iran. One species of Braconidae, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov), was collected from larvae of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lep.: Plutellidae). This parasitoid,

Do wildflower strips enhance pest control in organic cabbage? [PDF]
, 2009 Within this project we assess whether wildflower strips and companion plants increase the control of cabbage pests Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), Mamestra brassicae L. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Pieris rapae L.

Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1128-1140, April 2026.Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

Mechanisms of partial plant resistance to diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in brassicas [PDF]
, 2010 Artificial diet studies were used to differentiate among physical and chemical mechanisms affecting the suitability to diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.), of 16 food substrates obtained by growing four different brassicas in the glasshouse or ...

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.
