“…Subtilisin-like Pr1 proteases of insect-pathogenic fungi are a large family of extracellular cuticle-degrading enzymes that presumably determine a capability of hyphal invasion into insect hemocoel through normal cuticle infection, but remain poorly understood although often considered as virulence factors for genetic improvement of fungal potential against pests. Here, we report that not all of 11 Pr1 family members necessarily function in Beauveria bassiana, an ancient wide-spectrum pathogen evolved insect pathogenicity ~200 million years ago. …”

“…SIMPLE SUMMARY: Typhlocybinae currently is the second largest membracoid subfamily distributed worldwide and includes many important agricultural pests. The monophyly of Typhlocybinae has been supported by several recent analyses, but the relationships of its included tribes remain largely unexplored, particularly that of the phylogenetic relationship of Zyginellini and Typhlocybini. …”

Here, we present evidence of the effects of a commercially available roundworm, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, against the invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata. …”

“…In this study, we investigated the performance of eight trap colors in attracting jewel beetles and bark and ambrosia beetles to test if the trap colors currently used in survey programs worldwide are the most efficient for trapping these potential forest pests. In addition, we tested whether trap colors can be exploited to minimize inadvertent removal of their natural enemies. …”

To better understand their chemical ecology, the current study quantified the four most abundant bed bug aldehydes in the bed bugs’ immature stages by extracting their freshly shed exuviae. …”

To discover the main pests of tef in the Mediterranean climate, we conducted an insect field survey on three selected accessions named RTC-144, RTC-405, and RTC-406, and discovered that the most abundant insect order is Hemiptera. …”
