Changes in the distribution and pest risk of stored product insects in Europe due to global warming: Need for pan-European pest monitoring and improved food-safety
(Elsevier, 2022-05-18)
Global warming affects the distribution of stored product pest insects across Europe in a way comparable to field crop and orchard pests. Nevertheless, stored product research has been neglected in ...
Efficacy of Selected Insecticides for Chemical Control of the African Citrus Psyllid, Trioza erytreae (Psylloidea: Triozidae)
(MDPI, 2022-02-10)
The recent spread of the African citrus psyllid, Trioza erytreae, one of the vectors of the devastating citrus disease, Huanglongbing (HLB), to parts of mainland Europe has created considerable concern. ...
Naturalized Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris complement the resident parasitoid complex of Tuta absoluta in North-eastern Spain
(Wiley, 2022-03-09)
Our work reports on the establishment of the neotropical parasitoid Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris Marsh (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for the first time in Europe. This larval parasitoid has been recorded ...

Similar Bacterial Communities among Different Populations of a Newly Emerging Invasive Species, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)
(MDPI, 2022-03-03)
Microorganisms in the guts of insects enhance the adaptability of their hosts with different lifestyles, or those that live in different habitats. Tuta absoluta is an invasive pest that is a serious ...
New Alternative to Control Stenoma impressella (Lepidoptera: Elachistidae) Using Bacillus thuringiensis Commercial Formulations in Oil Palm Crops
(MDPI, 2022-04-05)
Using chemical insecticides in IPM is possible and could be sustainable. To find a sustainable alternative to control S. impressella, we assessed the biological activities of five commercial formulations ...
Few indirect effects of baculovirus on parasitoids demonstrate high compatibility of biocontrol methods against Tuta absoluta
(Wiley, 2022-12-08)
BACKGROUND
Combining different biocontrol agents, particularly micro- and macroorganisms, can contribute to new and sustainable pest control approaches. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) ...
Efficiency of the traditional practice of traps to stimulate black truffle production, and its ecological mechanisms
(Nature Research, 2022-09-28)
The black truffle Tuber melanosporum was disseminated all over the world, propelled by the development of a wide variety of empirical practices. A widespread practice, called ‘truffle trap’, consists ...
