“…The brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens is one of the most destructive insect pests in the rice fields of Asia. Like other hemipteran insects, BPH is not susceptible to Cry toxins of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) or transgenic rice carrying Bt cry genes. …”

“…Both the wheat midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana) (Géhin) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) and the Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) (Say) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) belong to a group of insects called gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), and both are destructive pests of wheat. From Hessian fly larvae, a large number of genes have been identified to encode secreted salivary gland proteins (SSGPs), which are presumably critical for the insect to feed on and manipulate host plants. …”

“…As insecticides, certain neonicotinoids, i.e., N-nitroguanidine compounds such as imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, are as intrinsically toxic to bees as to the insect pests they target. However, this is not the case for all neonicotinoids, with honeybees orders of magnitude less sensitive to N-cyanoamidine compounds such as thiacloprid [2]. …”

“…Biosecurity measures seek to allow trade and passenger movements while preventing incursions that could lead to the establishment of unwanted pests, pathogens, and weeds. However, few data exist to evaluate whether changes in trade volumes, passenger arrivals, and biosecurity measures have altered rates of establishment of nonnative species over time. …”

“…Further, the high frequency of resistance alleles indicates that pesticide‐mediated selection on H. azteca populations in waterways equals or exceeds that of targeted terrestrial pests. Widespread resistance throughout California suggests current practices to mitigate off‐site movement of pyrethroids are inadequate to protect aquatic life from negative ecological impacts and implies the likelihood of similar findings globally.…”
