Biology, invasion and management of the agricultural invader: Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is native to the Americas. It has rapidly invaded 47 African countries and 18 Asian countries since the first detection of invasion into Nigeria and Ghana in 2016.

Domestic composters as winter reservoirs for the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in temperate climates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Ageing and sex attraction of Teratorhabditis nematode

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences
Sex attraction was observed in the free - living nematode Teratorhabdits palmarum (Gerber & Giblin-Davis, 1990). Attraction by means of pheromones provides the ability to find and distinguish appropriate individual with which to mate.

Development of synthetic volatile attractant for male Ectropis obliqua moths

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
The tea geometrid Ectropis obliqua is one of the most serious leaf-feeding insect pests in tea (Camellia sinensis) in East Asia. Although several volatile chemicals emitted from tea plants have been reported to be attractive to E.

Function and Characterization Analysis of BodoOBP8 from Bradysia odoriphaga (Diptera: Sciaridae) in the Recognition of Plant Volatiles and Sex Pheromones

Insects, 2021
The belowground pest Bradysia odoriphaga (Diptera: Sciaridae) has a sophisticated and sensitive olfactory system to detect semiochemical signals from the surrounding environment. In particular, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are crucial in capturing and

Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.
