Domestic composters as winter reservoirs for the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in temperate climates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Inheritance and stability of Cry2Ab2 resistance in an Ostrinia nubilalis strain originating from Wisconsin, U.S.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Resistance to Cry2Ab2 protein in Ostrinia nubilalis is autosomal, functionally recessive, controlled by a single gene, and remains stable over 17 generations in the absence of Cry2Ab2 selection pressure. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenic corn expressing insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), including Cry1Ab, Cry1Fa and/or ...

Cascading bottom‐up effects of invasive alien plants on the parasitoid Aphidius colemani mediated by the aphid host Aphis fabae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Differences in the suitability of invasive alien plants as hosts drove variations in cascading bottom‐up effects in aphid host and parasitoid performance, potentially influencing top‐down regulation. Abstract BACKGROUND Invasive alien plants (IAP) can threaten biodiversity by disrupting trophic interactions and, consequently, affect agroecosystems by ...
