Commodity risk assessment of Malus domestica plants from Bosnia and Herzegovina

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
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 ...

Potential of variegated lady beetle Hippodamia variegata in management of invasive tomato potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 821-832, February 2023., 2023
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.

The value of hybrid and non‐native ash for the conservation of ash specialists is limited following late stages of emerald ash borer invasion

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 355-370, August 2022., 2022
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.

Field investigation‐ and dietary metabarcoding‐based screening of arthropods that prey on primary tea pests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
(1) Coleosoma blandum (Araneae, Theridiidae) was the most abundant species in the studied tea plantation and accounted for 34.80% of the total individual number of predatory arthropods; (2) C. blandum appeared to co‐occur in the tea canopy with three main tea pest species (A. spiniferus, Em. onukii and Ec.

Effects of artificial diet on the biological characteristics of the ladybeetle Coccinella septempunctata

open access: yesEntomological Research, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 223-231, April 2022., 2022
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.

The first chromosome‐level genome assembly of a green lacewing Chrysopa pallens and its implication for biological control

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 755-767, February 2022., 2022
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 ...

Prey life‐history influences the evolution of egg mass and indirectly reproductive investment in a group of free‐living insect predators

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
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.

RNA interference‐mediated silencing of vATPase subunits A and E affect survival and development of the 28‐spotted ladybeetle, Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1664-1676, December 2021., 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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.
