Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche
Insect Science, EarlyView.Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...
