RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Effects of Collection Cup Preservative on Flight Intercept Trap Performance for Forest Insects

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Flight intercept traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of forest Coleoptera. We investigated the comparative efficacy of three wet (saturated saltwater, propylene glycol, and soapy water) and one dry (dichlorvos strip) collection cup treatments on the capture of forest insects.
