Companion planting with French marigolds protects tomato plants from glasshouse whiteflies through the emission of airborne limonene.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Horticulturalists and gardeners in temperate regions often claim that planting marigolds next to tomato plants protects the tomatoes from the glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood). If shown to hold true, this technique could be used in

Small RNAs from Bemisia tabaci are transferred to Solanum lycopersicum phloem during feeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The phloem-feeding whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a serious pest to a broad range of host plants, including many economically important crops such as tomato. These insects serve as a vector for various devastating plant viruses.

Stronger Antipredatory Vigilance of Prey to Olfactory Cues From Injured Vulnerable Conspecifics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Eggs of spider mites are more vulnerable to predators. Reproductive females of spider mites are more vigilant to olfactory cues from injured eggs compared to that from injured adults and deutonymphs. ABSTRACT Predation risk is a key evolutionary force shaping prey behaviors and life‐history strategies across taxa. Predators often target vulnerable life

Diversity and Phylogenetic Analyses of Bacterial Symbionts in Three Whitefly Species from Southeast Europe

open access: yesInsects, 2017
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), and Siphoninus phillyreae (Haliday) are whitefly species that harm agricultural crops in many regions of the world.

What has changed in the outbreaking populations of the severe crop pest whitefly species in cassava in two decades?

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
High populations of African cassava whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) have been associated with epidemics of two viral diseases in Eastern Africa. We investigated population dynamics and genetic patterns by comparing whiteflies collected on cassava in 1997 ...

Diet‐Induced Developmental and Morphological Plasticity in a Thelytokous Predatory Mite Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study investigated how variation in prey consumption influences immature development and adult morphometric traits in the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus. Mites that ate more prey attained a larger size at maturity but did not develop more rapidly. Several morphometric traits were also significantly influenced by diet.

BIORATIONAL INSECTICIDE ADOPTION AND CONVENTIONAL INSECTICIDE USE: A SIMULTANEOUS, LIMITED DEPENDENT VARIABLE MODEL [PDF]

open access: yes
Using data reporting section-level pesticide use for all of Arizona, this study estimates how early-season adoption of new biorational insecticides reduced subsequent broad-spectrum insecticide applications in cotton.

Climate Change Drives the Distribution of Insect Vectors for GLRaV‐3 on a Global Scale

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The distribution range of seven insect vectors of GLRaV‐3 were predicted by MaxEnt model. Thermal conditions were a vital factor constraining the potential distribution ranges of all vector insects. Centroid shifts suggested that the potential distribution range of soft scale will move northward under climate change. Our study provides implications for
