Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata avoids transferred organic mulch—Insight from a mark‐release trial

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Organic dead mulch applied in potato was assessed for its impact on initial infestation of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata. CPB were marked and released in the field between mulched and bare soil plots, with observations taken at 12 and 72 h.

Are honey bees altering wild plant–bee interactions in reconstructed native habitats? An investigation of summer season effects in row‐crop agroecosystems with prairie strips

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We investigated the compatibility of beekeeping with pollinator conservation in ‘prairie strips’ a conservation practice integrating native prairie habitat into agricultural environments. At prairie strip sites with and without a honey bee apiary, we analysed plant–bee interactions and bumble bee body conditions to determine the effect of apiaries on ...

Beyond Deception: What Else Do Flower Wasps (Hymenoptera: Thynnidae: Thynninae) Do in Flowers Worldwide?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

Integrating Plant Volatile Scents in Sustainable IPM Approaches for Fall Armyworm Control

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the invasion of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) into new regions, studies have oriented toward low‐cost management tools and methods. This study assessed the effects of volatile scents that are naturally emitted by essential oil (EO) plants on the severity of FAW and populations of its natural ...

Mitigating Arthropod Mortality During Roadside Mowing: The Potential of the EcoCut Insect Flushing Bar

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (
