Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Distracted by a plant: movement of two invasive pentatomids, Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula, between companion plants and berry crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adult Halyomorpha halys and Nezara viridula rapidly moved between berry crops and companion plants. Habitat use varied across environmental contexts, demonstrating that companion plantings function as dynamic elements in diversified cropping systems. Abstract BACKGROUND The brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys and the southern green stink bug ...

Presence and abundance of airborne Botryosphaeriaceae conidia are governed by temperature and season in the Okanagan Valley, Canada

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Presence and abundance of Botryosphaeria dieback inoculum were determined using spore trapping and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction in British Columbia, Canada. Highest inoculum was recorded in spring (April–June) and again in summer (July–September). These results suggest early pruning in December–January can mitigate pruning wound infections.

A framework of zero-inflated Bayesian negative binomial regression models for spatiotemporal data

Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference
Spatiotemporal data analysis with massive zeros is widely used in many areas such as epidemiology and public health. We use a Bayesian framework to fit zero-inflated negative binomial models and employ a set of latent variables from Pólya-Gamma distributions to derive an efficient Gibbs sampler.

Prevalence and drivers of ectoparasite abundance on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New York City residential complexes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...
