ABSTRACT Current control of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii relies primarily on insecticides, including the incorporation of phagostimulant baits. The impact of insecticidal bait sprays on beneficial insects in crops is largely unknown. In a laboratory and field trial, we exposed non‐target insects to insecticides with or without bait and compared

Courtship Is a Major Factor of Mating‐Shortened Male Lifespan in an Egg Parasitoid
Mating is vital for population survival but often leads to reduced post‐mating longevity in both sexes. In many insects, sperm‐related factors are thought to cut male longevity, while in Anastatus disparis, mating also affects male longevity, with courtship being the main cause. Transcriptomic analyses of A.
