Genetic Variation of Spongy Moth (Lymantria dispar) in Kazakhstan

Insects
The spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) is a significant defoliator of broadleaf forests and fruit trees, but its population genetic structure in Central Asia remains poorly defined.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

The Parasitoid Wasp Glyptapanteles porthetriae Induces a Photoperiod‐Dependent Diapause‐Like State in Its Potential Overwintering Host Lasiocampa quercus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We evaluated Lasiocampa quercus as an overwintering host for the koinobiont larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae by exposing parasitized larvae to different environmental conditions and comparing parasitoid development with that in the primary host Lymantria dispar.

Antifeedant activity of neemazal-t/s (biofa) on the spongy moth larvae on different three species

, 2023
Insecticides derived from plants have been used as pest control for centuries. Many of them, such as Neem, a product derived from Azadirachta indica A.Juss. are used up to date, with different efficiency against different pest species.

A High‐Resolution Method Using Individual Females to Assess the Competitiveness of Sterile Drosophila suzukii Males Under Semi‐Controlled Conditions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
A high‐resolution, novel method to assess the sexual competitiveness of sterile mass‐reared Drosophila suzukii males is calibrated and illustrated using different laboratory and wild type strains. Isolation of individual females after semi‐controlled cage competition tests and subsequent observation of their progeny showed that sterile males from two ...

Combined phylogenetic and geographic data can predict plant–pest interactions with high accuracy

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the study pipeline. Summary Non‐native plant pests can pose major threats to biodiversity, with destructive ecological and economic consequences. The ability to predict future threats would allow limited resources to be concentrated on managing the most serious risks. We built a Bayesian model to predict hosts at risk from Agrilus,

Wallace's pARCs—Making Climate, Climate Change and Biodiversity Data Available to Protected Area Managers and Conservation Planners With an Example From Biebrza National Park, Poland

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
A spatial representation of the potential ‘adaptation effort’ that might be needed to maintain at least 75% of the species modelled in Biebrza National Park, Poland (white outline), at 1.5°C. The darker the green shading, the less adaptation would be needed.

Relationships between Spongy Moth egg mass abundance and urbanization in Vermont

, 2023
UndergraduateSpongy Moths (Lymantria dispar) are an invasive species that defoliate trees during their larval stage. Repeated defoliation can negatively impact tree and forest health and potentially cause tree mortality.

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 261-273, June 2026.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...
