Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Spider mite predator tested for pesticide resistance on pears

California Agriculture, 1978
Under field conditions the spider mite predator M. occidentalis can resist low application rates of organophosphate pesticides; but the spider mite is 40 times more resistant to permethrin than its predator.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Synergistic effects of pollen grains on several vital life parameters of Amblyseius swirskii when preying upon Tetranychus urticae

Scientific Reports
In this study, the efficiency of two pollens, Bird-of-paradise and Damask rose, was evaluated concerning the life table of the phyto-carnivorous predator Amblyseius swirskii, both alone and in combination with the spider mite Tetranychus urticae as a ...

Drought and Herbivory Drive Physiological and Phytohormonal Changes in Soybean (Glycine max Merril): Insights From a Meta‐Analysis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

SEASONAL ABUNDANCE OF RED SPIDER MITE AND ITS PREDATORS ON SELECTED CASSAVA ACCESSIONS

Annals of Tropical Research, 1981
In an unsprayed cassava planting, the cassava red spider mite population fluctuated in lesser magnitude in moderately resistant Accessions 8, 12 and 46 than in Golden Yellow and susceptible Accessions 35, 36 and 38.

Alone no more—Integrative taxonomy of New Zealand odd‐clawed spiders challenges the monotypy of Pianoa and Gradungula (Araneae: Gradungulidae)

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Taxonomic revision of New Zealand Gradungulidae reveals unexpected northern South Island diversity through integrated molecular phylogenetics and targeted field sampling. Two new species formally described — Gradungula kahurangi sp. nov. and Pianoa civis sp. nov. — with revised male genitalia diagnoses for all three New Zealand genera.

A robust detection method of apple leaf spectral image Starscream based on CRS-YOLO algorithm

European Journal of Remote Sensing
Due to the significant variation in red spider mite infestations across different growth stages and environmental conditions, traditional methods struggle to achieve precise and efficient detection. To address this, a robust detection method based on the
