Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Loxomerus antipodes Liebherr and Marris, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is described from the New Zealand subantarctic Antipodes Islands archipelago. Loxomerus antipodes, sp. nov., was considered conspecific with Loxomerus brevis Blanchard, 1853, from the Auckland Islands, but it is diagnosed from that sister taxon based on numerous anatomical ...

Materials to the knowledge of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from mountain Ingushetia (Russia) and comparison of tenebrionid fauna of semiarid basins in the North Caucasus [PDF]
Sixteen species of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in mountainous Ingushetia (Russia, the North Caucasus) were collected during two years in different seasons and habitats. The new species Mycetochara (Ernocharis) ingushetica sp. n.

Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.
