Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 21, June 5, 2025.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

Lessons learned from the rise and the fall of floral hemp production in Utah

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract The floral hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) industry rapidly emerged in Utah in 2019 with 217 licensed growers on nearly 400 ha and has since declined annually due to market uncertainty. This scenario provided a unique opportunity to understand barriers to market entry, production challenges, and opportunities for research and education for this ...

Target gene selection for sprayable dsRNA‐based biopesticide against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3055-3065, June 2025.
Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

Biochar Suppresses Growth, Pupation and Eclosion Success of a Specialist (Manduca sexta) and a Generalist (Spodoptera frugiperda) Insect Herbivore

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Biochar is a charcoal‐like substance made by the pyrolysis of organic material from agricultural and forestry waste. While biochar is well documented for altering soil physicochemical conditions, few studies have investigated its possible effects on the management of arthropod pests.

Life at the (h)edge—Multidiversity in shrub ecotones is driven by habitat quality and shrub foliage cover

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1520-1530, June 2025.
Our multi‐taxa assessment is the first comprehensive study of diversity across taxa and multidiversity in shrub ecotones. By combining multiple diversity metrics, our findings provide a more nuanced understanding of biodiversity patterns, which can better inform conservation strategies.
