Control of tea aphids via attracting the parasitic wasp, Aphelinus sp. with synthetic semiochemicals
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The tea aphid (Toxoptera aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe) is an important tea plant pest insect worldwide. The parasitoid wasp, Aphelinus sp., is one of the most important natural enemies of the tea aphid in China. Unfortunately, Aphelinus sp. alone cannot

Insect Science, EarlyView.Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

Studies on exploiting semiochemicals for pest management in organic farming systems OF0188 [PDF]
, 2000 This study addresses the extent to which pest management systems can exploit semiochemicals (defined below) in ways acceptable to organic farming, and determines where the science base needs to be expanded to accommodate specific problems arising in an ...

The Development of a Sex Pheromone Lure for the American Plum Borer, \u3ci\u3eEuzophera Semifuneralis\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a Major Pest of Cherry in Michigan. [PDF]
, 2017 Pheromone components of the American plum borer, Euzophera semifuneralis, were defined by use of the electroantennogram screening technique and capillary gas chromatographic retention times of sex pheromone gland constituents.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Penile sexual sensation relies on intricate neural structures that remain incompletely characterized. Immunohistological insights into their development and organization can enhance understanding of penile neuroanatomy and function, while optimizing surgical outcomes.
