Greenbug feeding-induced resistance to sugarcane aphids in sorghum
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Plants are attacked by multiple insect pest species and insect herbivory can alter plant defense mechanisms. The plant defense responses to a specific herbivore may also contribute to the herbivore growth/survival on plants. Feeding by one insect species

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]
, 2018 Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.
