Characterization of the dynamic microbiome evolution across thrips species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Comprehensive survey of the microbiome in thrips. The dominant bacterial genera found in thrips include intracellular ones, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, and extracellular ones, including Serratia, Pantoea, and Acinetobacter. We isolated and sequenced high‐quality genomes of two dominant symbionts, Pantoea dispersa and Serratia marcescens.

RNAi‐based functional genomics tools for the beet leafhopper using microinjection and nanoparticle‐based topical spray

Insect Science, EarlyView.
• First demonstration of functional RNAi in the beet leafhopper, Neoaliturus tenellus, using both dsRNA microinjection and star polycation nanoparticle‐mediated topical spray delivery.•Microinjection achieved over 90% knockdown of Gus and Pum3, revealing gene‐specific fitness effects on survival and fecundity in beet leafhopper.•Nanoparticle‐mediated ...

Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where

Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

A simulation model for the functional response of Orius sauteri on eggplant leaves with Thrips palmi: Implications for biological control. [PDF]

, 2010
The predation capability of the anthocorid predatory bug Orius sauteri (Poppius) determines its effectiveness for suppressing Thrips palmi Karny on greenhouse eggplants.

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

Comparative toxicity of certain medicinal plants against invasive chili thrips, Thrips parvispinus (Karny) [PDF]

Chilli thrips, Thrips parvispinus, is an invasive pest causing significant yield losses of up to 80%. To manage this, pest farmers rely only upon insecticides and this situation leads to insecticidal residues being higher than the maximum residual level (

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...
