Conservation biological control (CBC) is the application of agricultural practices that utilize insectary plants to conserve and enhance natural enemies, thereby increasing their efficiency to suppress pests. Most of the insectary plants used in CBC...
Estimating the minimum post-mortem interval (PMI-min) is crucial in criminal investigations for identifying victims and the circumstances surrounding their death. Traditional post-mortem indicators are reliable only within the first 48–72 h pos...
Grape phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch), is an economically significant pest of grapevines. Identification of phylloxera genotypes is an important aspect of management as genotypes differ in virulence and susceptibility to control us...
The insect order Lepidoptera contains many species that are considered to be agricultural pests. Specific double-stranded RNA-degrading enzymes in some moth species decrease the efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi refers to the efficient and...
Uneven heating is the biggest obstacle to the application of radio frequency (RF) technology in insecticidal applications. Since many existing studies have focused on the RF heating uniformity of granular materials, few RF treatment solutions have be...
The Belostomatidae is a family of aquatic Heteropteran insects that normally inhabit swamps of tropical, subtropical and temperate regions where they naturally feed on a large range of prey, mainly fish, amphibians and reptiles. However, these arthro...
The pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii Cano, 1894 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), poses a significant threat to pepper cultivation, causing extensive crop damage and economic losses. While numerous studies have addressed its occurrence, biology, and cont...
The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is an insect pest of rice, which mainly feeds on the phloem sap of the leaf sheath. RNA interference (RNAi) has application prospects in pest control, but it is necessary to select target genes and design su...
Understanding predator–prey and predator–predator interactions is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of biocontrol agents and developing efficient pest management strategies. This study investigates the effects of prey species, pr...
The taxonomy of genus Ambulyx Westwood, 1847 from China is reviewed based on analysis of wing morphology, male and female genitalia and phylogenetic relationships derived from DNA barcodes. A new species, Ambulyx wukong sp. nov. is described from NW...
