Effects of Feeding by Two Folivorous Arthropods on Susceptibility of Hybrid Poplar Clones to a Foliar Pathogen [PDF]
, 2018 We investigated variation in folivore-induced effects on subsequent plant suitability to a foliar pathogen. We used a leaf disk assay to expose three clones of hybrid poplar, NC11382, NE332 and NM6, to colonization by a leaf spot pathogen, Septoria ...

Expression of a barley cystatin gene in maize enhances resistance against phytophagous mites by altering their cysteine-proteases [PDF]
, 2011 Phytocystatins are inhibitors of cysteine-proteases from plants putatively involved in plant defence based on their capability of inhibit heterologous enzymes.

Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 414-423, April 2026.This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of

Theories on the Nature of Life. Giovanni Blandino, New York: Philosophical Library, 1969. xiv, 374 pp. $6.00. [PDF]
, 2017 In a short span, this encyclopedic work summarizes the historical problems of the nature of life. Blandino conducts his narrative in a condensed and highly-packed form that assumes the nature of an outline.

Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.

Novel acaricide toxicities on Tetranychus urticae infesting Piper betle
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to test novel acaricide efficacies for the management of two- spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch) on betelvine (Piper betle L.).

Ecological predictors of plant responses to sequential herbivory: a meta‐analysis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1128-1140, April 2026.Summary Plants evolved alongside herbivores for over 400 million years and show remarkable plasticity in responses to attack by multiple herbivores. However, it is often debated which herbivore traits predict plant responses and it is poorly understood how plant life‐history traits contribute to the variation observed in plant responses.

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.Chitosan‐based nanocapsules loaded with Mentha piperita and Satureja montana essential oils were evaluated for insecticidal efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera larvae. Nanoformulations demonstrated controlled release, prolonged toxicity, and sublethal effects, offering an eco‐friendly alternative to conventional pesticides.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2694-2707, March 2026.Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...
