Host Specificity and Preliminary Impact of Lepidapion argentatum (Coleoptera, Brentidae), a Biocontrol Candidate for French Broom (Genista monspessulana, Fabaceae)

Insects, 2021
French broom (Genista monspessulana) (Fabaceae) is a perennial species native to the Mediterranean basin. Introduced in the 19th century as an ornamental plant, it is currently invasive in California and Australia.

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the leaf-rolling-weevil, Apoderus jekelii Roelofs, 1874 (Coleoptera: Attelabidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We sequenced 15,803 bp of the leaf-rolling-weevil, Apoderus jekelii (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) that lacked ∼8000 bp of the A + T-rich region for the completion of the genomic sequence. The A.

Genetic differentiation of Ukrainian populations of Eusomus ovulum (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): evidence of multiple hybrid speciation

Zoodiversity, 2021
The clonal structure of populations of the weevil Eusomus ovulum (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from several regions of Ukraine was analyzed. The significant interpopulation differentiation between populations from different region was demonstrated.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Survival Time, Mortality Rate, and Feeding Damage of Adult Myllocerus undecimpustulatus undatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Exposed to Biopesticides in Laboratory Bioassays

Applied Microbiology, 2023
Survival time, percentage mortality, and feeding behavior were evaluated for adults of the weevil Myllocerus undecimpustulatus undatus Marshall (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) exposed to biopesticides by using a Petri dish plant-based bioassay system ...

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Bisexual releases are as effective as male‐only releases to control Drosophila suzukii with the sterile insect technique

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Bisexual releases are as effective as male‐only releases to control Drosophila suzukii with the sterile insect technique. Releasing sterile Drosophila suzukii males or males and females in cages led to the same degree of induced sterility in wild females.
