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

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Iran: An invasion from the Middle West

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Despite an age-old tradition of olive growing and its geographical location, Iran was apparently free of the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) (Diptera: Tephritidae), the major worldwide olive tree pest, until the last decade.

Interspecific competition leads to more long‐winged morphs in two sympatric cricket species

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 163-174, February 2025.
Interspecific competition between two sympatric species of ground crickets, Dianemobius nigrofasciatus and Polionemobius taprobanensis, was examined. Polionemobius taprobanensis was more dominant than D. nigrofasciatus in the interspecific competition. The inferior species, D.

Evolved and Plastic Gene Expression in Adaptation of a Specialist Fly to a Novel Niche

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, February 2025.
ABSTRACT How gene expression evolves to enable divergent ecological adaptation and how changes in gene expression relate to genomic architecture are pressing questions for understanding the mechanisms enabling adaptation and ecological speciation. Furthermore, how plasticity in gene expression can both contribute to and be affected by the process of ...

Maximizing Identification Precision of Hymenoptera and Brachycera (Diptera) With a Non‐Destructive DNA Metabarcoding Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
DNA metabarcoding is utilized for efficient bulk sample assessment, yet limited research addresses disparities in species identification methods. We compared diverse clustering and filtering techniques in non‐destructive metabarcoding approach to morphological identification of Brachycera and Hymenoptera.

No genetic differentiation in the rose-infesting fruit flies Rhagoletis alternata and Carpomya schineri (Diptera: Tephritidae) across central Europe

European Journal of Entomology, 2009
After the last glacial retreat in Europe, multiple recolonizations led to intraspecific differentiation in many of the recolonizing taxa. Here we investigate the genetic diversification across central Europe in two recolonizing taxa, the tephritid fruit ...

Study of Mitogenomes Provides Implications for the Phylogenetics and Evolution of the Infraorder Muscomorpha in Diptera

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
This study comparatively analyzed the mitogenome characteristics of 131 species that represent 18 superfamilies in Muscomorpha, in which mitogenomes of 16 species are newly sequenced and annotated herein. Further, we deduced their phylogenetics using maximum likelihood, and discussed their divergence time and evolution combined with taxonomy and ...

Pseudoparasitism by Spalangia cameroni (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) of pupae of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae): Frequency and implications

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
The effectiveness of natural enemies in controlling pests may be determined by many traits linked to their ability to regulate the density of their prey. In this respect, the phenomenon of pseudoparasitism, in which female parasitoids reject a host after
