Dolichopodidae abundance in different cover crop species

Ciência Rural, 2021
: This study evaluated the Dolichopodidae abundance in different cover crop species. For this, the following species were used in treatments: Crotalaria (Crotalaria spectabilis), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), castor bean ...

Development and Reproduction of Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae): The Effect of Temperature, Origin and Food

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 842-850, August 2026.
Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.

A new pest recorded in Italy: The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 309-316, August 2026.
Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List

Pollination Under Pressure: Grazing and Nutrient Enrichment Reshape Arctic Pollinator Communities and Interaction Networks

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Grazing exclusion reshaped Arctic flower‐visitor communities, increased plant‐pollinator interactions, and altered interaction networks, while nutrient enrichment had weaker, context‐dependent effects. Together the two drivers produced both independent and interactive effects, with tundra grasslands showing the greatest sensitivity to environmental ...

Efficacy of Select Gene Targets for the Management of Western Flower Thrips Through RNA Interference

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
Western flower thrips (WFT) cause extensive damage to crops. RNA interference (RNAi) is being extensively researched for the management of this pest. We successfully demonstrated the uptake of dsRNA by WFT through artificial diet feeding and identified Promising new targets for the development of RNAi‐based pesticides have been identified.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Pyrethroid Resistance in Frankliniella intonsa From Inner Mongolia: Evidence for kdr Mutation and Metabolic Involvement

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To evaluate population‐specific susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides, four field populations of Frankliniella intonsa collected from alfalfa fields in Inner Mongolia were assessed using ingestion and contact bioassays. Four pyrethroids—bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin—were tested.

Mating behaviour, mate choice and female resistance in the bean flower thrips (Megalurothrips sjostedti)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Many species of thrips (Thysanoptera) in the family Thripidae form mating aggregations, but the adaptive significance of these aggregations and the extent of male and female mate choice is poorly understood.

Determining if preemergent herbicide injury on ThryvOn cotton alters management strategies

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Glyphosate‐resistant Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus Palmeri S. Wats.) caused cotton growers to increase the use of preemergence (PRE) herbicides. These herbicides can cause crop injury, which increases the susceptibility window of cotton to thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae).
