Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.MeJA application strengthened both direct and indirect coffee defenses against the white mealybug Planococcus citri, whereas the effects of MeSA were variable and context‐dependent across the defensive traits examined. The combined application of both elicitors produced an effect similar to MeSA on direct defenses, but resembled MeJA when indirect ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Assessment of Certain Neonicotinoid Compounds on Tetranychus cucurbitacewum (Sayed) and Predatory Mite, Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) [PDF]
Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology, 2014 Generally, the two tested neonicotinoides, acetamiprid and thiamethoxam were more toxic against both adults and one day o1d eggs of T. cucurbitacecirum using spraying method than dipping technique method under laboratory conditions.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

Mitochondrial Genome Characteristics and Phylogenetic Analysis of Eotetranychus kankitus on Pomelo and Tea Plants [PDF]
Chaye kexueEotetranychus kankitus is an agricultural pest mite that damages many crops. Conducting mitochondrial genome analysis can clarify its structural characteristics and the phylogenetic relationships among species in the family of Tetranychidae species.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Tropical and Subtropical AgroecosystemsBackground. Ketoenol acaricides exert their action by inhibiting Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). These acaricides have been highly effective for the management of phytophagous mites, however, their intensive use has generated resistant populations, which ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8725-8733, September 2026.The study shows ancestral dietary restriction in Phytoseiulus persimilis produces persistent, sex‐specific, multi‐generational effects on survival and body size, with stronger maternal than paternal lineage influences despite nutritional recovery. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TGP) allows environmental effects to persist ...
