Reproductive Interference and Niche Partitioning in Aphidophagous Insects

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
The range and quality of prey species differ greatly among closely related species of predators. However, the factors responsible for this diversified niche utilization are unclear. This is because the predation and resource competition do not always prevent species coexistence. In this paper, we present evidence in support of reproductive interference

Spray‐induced gene silencing to control plant pathogenic fungi: A step‐by‐step guide

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 801-825, March 2025.
Spray‐induced gene silencing is an innovative, eco‐friendly technology for controlling plant fungal diseases by applying RNA molecules that silence key fungal genes via RNA interference. This guide explores how to develop safe and effective formulations based on current knowledge, aiming to improve their efficacy under real‐world conditions.

The right banker plant for the right application: Comparison of three candidates for aphid biocontrol, barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 7, Page 3293-3300, July 2024.
Finger millet, corn, and barley have different characteristics which predispose them to be used as banker plants in different specific biocontrol contexts. Abstract BACKGROUND In temperate regions, aphid biological control in greenhouses is mostly achieved by the regular release of biocontrol agents. Due to the rapid growth rate of the aphid population,

Uptake and transfer of a Bt toxin by a lepidoptera to Its eggs and effects on Its offspring. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Research on non-target effects of transgenic crop plants has focused primarily on bitrophic, tritrophic and indirect effects of entomotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis, but little work has considered intergenerational transfer of Cry proteins. This work

Trophic ecology of citrus pests based on stable isotope analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Macrodactylus pumilio Burm. (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) and Naupactus cervinus (Boh.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are considered primary pests in citrus crops in Brazil, causing damage to plants and decreasing productivity. However, few studies investigate
