Phylogenomics Resolves the Evolution of Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Phylogeny of Sternorrhyncha based on Matrix2 under PMSF (LG+C60+F+R) model. ABSTRACT Sternorrhyncha, one of the four major suborders of Hemiptera, represents a phytophagous insect clade comprising nearly 18,000 described species. While recent phylogenomic studies have made significant efforts to elucidate the internal phylogenetic relationships within ...

Modelling response of Delottococcus aberiae (De lotto) male captures to pheromone emission rates. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Using increasing doses of the sex pheromone of D. aberiae, our model revealed that the emission levels to maximize the captures of males ranges from 0.4 to 40 μg/day. Abstract BACKGROUND An invasive mealybug from South Africa identified as Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is causing severe distortions and fruit size ...

Gene-specific double-stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom-up effects in tomato and wheat. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy-Free Space for Crop-Feeding Herbivores. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.
