Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...

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.

Quantification of Thrips Damage Using Ilastik and ImageJ Fiji
Bio-Protocol, 2018 Quantification of insect damage is an essential measurement for identifying resistance in plants. In screening for host plant resistance against thrips, the total damaged leaf area is used as a criterion to determine resistance levels. Here we present an

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.

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2018 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae are known to be effective against a variety of pests. In the present work, different EPNs that are isolated from the Egyptian environment were tested against the onion ...

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors
New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Blue Nile Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020 Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) is considered as the most economically important pest of onion worldwide. Field experiments were conducted in 2013/14 and 2014/15 cropping seasons to assess different spatial arrangements of intercrops such as carrot (Daucus ...
