Ecosystem services provided by spiders
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Phytozoophagous insects such as Lygus lineolaris feed on plants and prey. This study assessed the genetic variability and heritability of zoophagy and dietary shift in 15 isofemale lines with access to Ephestia kuehniella eggs and with or without access to plant resources.

RESULTS OF THE THREE-YEAR MONITORING (2001.-2003.) OF TOBACCO WHITEFLY Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889), (HOMOPTERA: ALEYRODIDAE) IN CROATIA [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2004 The quarantine pest tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) was for the first time found in Croatia in 2000 on some culture and weed plants in greenhouses and in the open field in the area from Trogir to Omiš.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Molecular studies on the sweet potato virus disease and its two causal agents [PDF]
, 2002 The studies presented in this thesis contribute to an increased understanding of the molecular aspects, variability and interaction of the two most important viral pathogens of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L): Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV ...

Secoviridae: a proposed family of plant viruses within the order Picornavirales that combines the families Sequiviridae and Comoviridae, the unassigned genera Cheravirus and Sadwavirus, and the proposed genus Torradovirus [PDF]
, 2009 The order Picornavirales includes several plant viruses that are currently classified into the families Comoviridae (genera Comovirus, Fabavirus and Nepovirus) and Sequiviridae (genera Sequivirus and Waikavirus) and into the unassigned genera Cheravirus ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Damage‐associated molecular pattern (DAMP)‐triggered immunity (DTI) serves as a crucial first line of defence against aphid attack, yet how aphids manage this response remains unclear. By investigating the colonisation of Arabidopsis thaliana by the highly polyphagous peach–potato aphid (Myzus persicae), we identified cell wall‐derived DAMPs ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary During herbivore feeding, plants can recognize herbivore‐associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) present in saliva and trigger pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI). Piercing‐sucking insects secrete gel saliva, forming salivary sheaths that aid in feeding. However, the role of proteins within these salivary sheaths in modulating plant defences remains
