Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Entomopathogenic fungi have been well exploited as biocontrol agents that can kill insects through direct contact. However, recent research has shown that they can also play an important role as plant endophytes, stimulating plant growth, and indirectly ...

Mate choice promotes inbreeding avoidance in the two-spotted spider mite [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2011 Since inbreeding in Tetranychus urticae can reduce offspring fitness, sexual selection may favour disassortative mate choice with respect to relatedness of the mating partners. We tested whether T. urticae shows this preference for mating with unrelated partners.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Acaricides and two-spotted spider mites
California Agriculture, 1974 THE TWO-SPOTTED SPIDER MITE, Te-tranychus urticae Koch, is a persistent and destructive pest of pears in California. Bartlett pears are particularly susceptible to this mite, and severe defoliation can occur in relatively short periods of time. Contributing to the severity of mite infestations is the presence of weed hosts, such as morning glory ...

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.
