Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Experimental viral spillover can harm Bombus terrestris workers under field conditions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 81-89, February 2023., 2023
Potential negative effects of Deformed wing virus spillover from honeybees to the bumblebee Bombus terrestris were investigated in a semi‐field experiment, factoring in the environmental‐context of this host–pathogen interaction. The mode of experimental viral transmission determined the impact on host mortality and viral load, as injected bumblebee ...

Redescription of immature stages and adults of Nilio (Nilio ) brunneus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Nilioninae)

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2016
We described immature stages of Nilio (Nilio ) brunneus Thomson, 1860 and provide a supplementary description for adults, including new data on the anatomy of the female and male terminalia. We observed N.

Biology of \u3ci\u3eDiastrophus Nebulosus\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) and Its Parasitoid/Inquiline Complex in Galls on \u3ci\u3eRubus Flagellaris\u3c/i\u3e (Rosaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Rubus flagellaris patches occasionally harbor colonies of compound stem- galls initiated by the cynipid, Diastrophus nebulosus. These isolated colonies host a parasitoid/inquiline complex made up of five principal and three incidental chalcidoid species ...

Phylogeny of Dasyophthalma butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Brassolini) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study provides a species-level phylogeny and morphological characterization for the Neotropical brassoline genus Dasyophthalma Westwood, 1851. A revised generic definition is given, and two species groups are proposed. Diagnoses and illustrations of

Low H2O2 and enhanced oxidative resistance in the diapause-destined pupa of silkworm, Antheraea mylitta (Lepidoptera:Saturniidae) suggest their possible involvement in dormancy and lifespan extension

open access: yes, 2018
BackgroundInsect diapause is associated with physiological dormancy, extension of life span and an altered developmental programme. Reactive oxygen species, oxidative damaged products and antioxidants are being increasingly linked to such processes in ...

Parasitoid wasp usurps its host to guard its pupa against hyperparasitoids and induces rapid behavioral changes in the parasitized host

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Some parasites have an ability to fabricate the behavior of their host and impel the host to guard parasites' offspring, which is popularly called as bodyguard manipulation.

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Host condition and pathogen identity influence bacterial infection survival in the common eastern firefly, Photinus pyralis

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 90-101, February 2023., 2023
Fireflies in worse condition or collected later in the season had reduced survival relative to fireflies in better condition or collected earlier in the season. Serratia marcescens and Providencia rettgeri infections increased firefly mortality while Providencia sneebia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecalis infections did not. Abstract The
