Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 708-723, July 2025.We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]
, 2015 The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 651-660, July 2025.Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

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

Density‐Dependent Effects on the Reproductive Ecology of Trees in a Temperate Woodland
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.It is the joint outcome of positive and negative density‐dependent effects which will determine the spatial distribution of a plant population, yet they are rarely studied simultaneously. We related two indicators of reproductive success (fruit set and fruit drop) to the size and density of neighbouring conspecifics for Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Variation in insect herbivory can drive variation in plant fitness and population dynamics. However, our ability to predict the ecological contexts in which insect herbivores will reduce plant fitness or population growth is limited. In theory, populations at the periphery of a plant species' biogeographic range are expected to experience ...
