Squash silverleaf disorder and whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1) infestation: Implications for plant disease management in a changing climate

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Terminal Filament Bundling Underlies the Development of Ovariole Number Dimorphism Between Queen and Worker Ants

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 3, September 2026.
We trace the formation of the cell structures known to determine ovariole number in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster, called terminal filaments. By investigating the formation of terminal filaments and ovarioles during queen and worker development in ants, we confirm the existence of terminal filament bundling (white arrows) and show that it ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1126-1134, September 2026.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

Anastrepha grandis: Distribution, Host Plants, and Management—A Review

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 977-988, September 2026.
This graphic summary illustrates the databases and languages used in the bibliographic search for the review of the geographic distribution of Anastrepha grandis (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the Americas and different regions of Brazil, the main host plants of the Cucurbitaceae family, the management strategies used, and the main challenges related to the

A Fly in the Ointment? Non‐Target Fly Pest Benefits From Reduction in Ivermectin During Targeted Selective Treatment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1022-1032, September 2026.
Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) can reduce the rate of resistance development in livestock gastrointestinal nematodes but can also reduce the effects of anthelmintics on non‐target organisms. Most studies of non‐target anthelmintic effects focus on beneficial species.

A High‐Resolution Method Using Individual Females to Assess the Competitiveness of Sterile Drosophila suzukii Males Under Semi‐Controlled Conditions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1011-1021, September 2026.
A high‐resolution, novel method to assess the sexual competitiveness of sterile mass‐reared Drosophila suzukii males is calibrated and illustrated using different laboratory and wild type strains. Isolation of individual females after semi‐controlled cage competition tests and subsequent observation of their progeny showed that sterile males from two ...

Comparative Study of Laboratory Diets for Piophila casei: Beneficial Effects of Infant Formula Supplementation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1033-1041, September 2026.
The infant formula‐based diet (F), the whole powder milk diet (P), and dry‐cured ham (H) were evaluated for rearing Piophila casei. H accelerated development, promoted earlier reproduction, and achieved the highest demographic performance but showed practical limitations linked to substrate deterioration. F enhanced larval survival and adult longevity,

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1053-1062, September 2026.
Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

From hindrance to indirect protection: Ant‐mediated enemy‐free space for gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) on Macaranga myrmecophytes (Euphorbiaceae)

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.
