The effects of soil moisture, soil texture, and host orientation on the ability of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) to infect Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) demonstrate potential as a biological control for soil dwelling insects. However, edaphic factors, such as soil moisture and texture impact the efficacy of EPN on a host. The objectives were to examine the effects of soil

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.In the face of environmental contamination to copper, mainly resulting from frequent copper‐based fungicide applications, it is crucial to understand the side effects of these pesticides on non‐target organisms to improve pest management. Trichogramma cordubensis, used as a biological control agent against grape berry moths in vineyards, shows strongly

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
