Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Bosnia and Herzegovina
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by bare root plants of Malus domestica grafted on ...

Resident predator Hippodamia variegata successfully reproduced and established populations when feeding on invasive pest, Bactericera cockerelli. Therefore, H. variegata could be a potential biological control agent for B. cockerelli. This is the first report of a generalist predator feeding and developing on the invasive B.

Abstract Widespread mortality of native North American ash caused by emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) threatens native arthropod biodiversity, but hybrid ash populations with resistance to EAB may serve a role in supporting threatened communities of arthropods in managed landscapes impacted by EAB.

Abstract The ladybeetle Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus is an important natural enemy of aphids, scale insects, whitefly, and lepidopteran larvae. Mass rearing of this natural enemy is limited due to the lack of effective artificial feed. We compared the biological performance of C.

Abstract Many lacewing species (Insecta: Neuroptera) are important predators of pests with great potential in biological control. So far, there is no chromosome‐level published genome available for Neuroptera. Here we report a high‐quality chromosome‐level reference genome for a green lacewing species Chrysopa pallens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), which ...

In insect predator, prey influences the evolution of life‐history traits. After controlling for phylogenetic relatedness, we show that ladybirds specialized on aphids lay bigger eggs than those that specialized on coccids. However, the two types of ladybirds invest equally in reproduction.

Silencing of in vitro synthesized HvvATPase A and HvvATPase E led to significant mortality in Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata larvae. Ingestion of HvvATPase A and HvvATPase E significantly deterred the feeding behavior and, subsequently, arrested the development of H. vigintioctopunctata.

Effects of transgenic Cry1Ac + CpTI cotton on non-target mealybug pest Ferrisia virgata and its predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri [PDF]
Recently, several invasive mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) have rapidly spread to Asia and have become a serious threat to the production of cotton including transgenic cotton.
