Insect netting: effect of mesh size and shape on exclusion of some fruit pests and natural enemies under laboratory and orchard conditions

G. Chouinard et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the permeability of various insect nets for fruit tree exclusion systems. The shape and size of the mesh apertures affected the ability of different pest and beneficial species to cross the nets. Rectangular-shaped apertures were found to completely exclude apple maggots and spotted wing drosophila, while allowing access for beneficial insects.

Control of spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) in sweet cherry and raspberry using bait sprays

Ralph Noble et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of different insecticides and low rates of insecticides combined with baits in controlling spotted wing drosophila. The results showed that low rates of insecticides combined with baits gave comparable control of the pest in most cases, with significantly lower infestation compared to the untreated controls. The reduction in insecticide use was achieved by reducing concentrations, volumes, and spray coverage.

Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki bioinsecticide on two non-target Drosophila larval endoparasitoid wasps

Aurelie Babin et al.

Summary: The study explores the potential chronic effects of Btk bioinsecticide on two Drosophila larval endoparasitoids, indicating that Btk may affect non-target parasitoids indirectly through host exposure and directly through food poisoning. Different species of closely related parasitoids may respond differently to bioinsecticide exposure, requiring species-specific studies when combining these natural enemies with Btk in IPM strategies.

Toxicity and Transgenerational Effects of Insecticides on Trichopria anastrephae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae)

Maira Chagas Morais et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the lethal and transgenerational toxicity of five insecticides on T. anastrephae adults, showing that insecticides used for pest control have negative effects on the parasitoid, but were classified as harmless in the F-2 generation. This has implications for Integrated Management programs for D. suzukii and the conservation of natural populations of T. anastrephae.

How the mighty have adapted: Genetic and microbiome changes during laboratory adaptation in the key pest Drosophila suzukii

Katerina Nikolouli et al.

Summary: Adaptation of wild insects to laboratory environment affects their genetic diversity and symbiotic communities, which can reduce their biological quality and mating competitiveness. This study found that laboratory adaptation strongly impacts both genetic diversity and bacterial communities of Drosophila suzukii, providing important insights for the design of integrated pest management approaches.

Hormesis effects of chlorantraniliprole on a key egg parasitoid used for management of rice lepidopterans

Xiaojing Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of a diamide insecticide on Trichogramma japonicum, a parasitoid used for biological control in rice crop. The results showed that sublethal concentrations of the insecticide enhanced the biological traits of T. japonicum and increased its biocontrol service on rice pests. These findings have important implications for optimizing integrated pest management in rice crops.

Host preference of three Asian larval parasitoids to closely relatedDrosophilaspecies: implications for biological control ofDrosophila suzukii

Antonio Biondi et al.

Summary: The study found that regardless of the different degrees of host specificity among the three parasitoids, they did not show any host preference for the two closely related host species in both no choice tests and choice tests. The results suggest that the hosts' phylogenetical similarity and a lack of any obvious fitness costs for offspring survival may reduce host preference by these larval parasitoids.

First record of the invasive spotted wing Drosophila infesting berry crops in Africa

Ahmed Boughdad et al.

Summary: The spotted wing drosophila, an invasive pest native to Asia, has invaded crops in Europe, the Americas, and now Africa, particularly affecting soft fruit production. The study in northwestern Morocco reveals a significant infestation of D. suzukii in fields growing small berries, with seasonal peaks between March to June and November to December. Mass trapping experiments showed the red-colored trap baited with baker's yeast and sugar to be the most effective in controlling the pest in raspberry fields.

Plasticity of body growth and development in two cosmopolitan pupal parasitoids

Xingeng Wang et al.

Summary: Pachycrepoideus vindemiae and Trichopria drosophilae are cosmopolitan pupal parasitoids of Drosophilidae that can successfully parasitize and develop from various Drosophila host species. The body size of emerging progeny is positively correlated to host size, and attacking larger hosts benefits the parasitoids by increasing fecundity of female wasps. This study highlights the remarkable plasticity in body growth and development of these parasitoids, which may enhance biological control efforts.

Sublethal and transgenerational effects of lambda-cyhalothrin on the mirid bugs Lygus pratensis Linnaeus and Polymerus cognatus Fieber

Yao Tan et al.

Summary: The study showed that short-term exposure to lambda-cyhalothrin had significant sublethal and transgenerational effects on Lygus pratensis and Polymerus cognatus, affecting traits such as adult longevity, fecundity, egg-laying period, larval development, and population growth. The insecticide can effectively control mirid bugs in northern China but may also have negative impacts on their population dynamics in the long term.

Lethal and oxidative stress side effects of organic and synthetic pesticides on the insect scale predator Rhyzobius lophanthae

Valeria Palma-Onetto et al.

Summary: Research showed that most organic pesticides had minimal impact on the insect scale predator Rhyzobius lophanthae, while synthetic pesticides often led to 100% mortality over time. Additionally, some organic pesticides caused significant oxidative stress in the insect. These findings suggest that organic pesticides could be a safer and more effective alternative for controlling agricultural pests compared to synthetic pesticides.

Summary: The study evaluated three Asian larval parasitoids' capacity to attack and develop from 24 non-target drosophilid species. Results showed that all three parasitoids were able to parasitize multiple non-target species in artificial diet, with A. japonica being a generalist, G. brasiliensis being specific to D. suzukii, and L. japonica mainly attacking species in the melanogaster group.

Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae): A Decade of Research Towards a Sustainable Integrated Pest Management Program

Gabriella Tait et al.

Summary: Drosophila suzukii, also known as spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly adaptive pest that has caused significant economic impacts in fruit production regions worldwide. The pest's infestation leads to yield losses, shortened shelf life of fruits, and increased production costs, affecting fresh markets, frozen berries, and fruit export programs. Integrated pest management (IPM) strategies show promise in reducing chemical inputs, but require substantial changes to horticultural practices.

Economic costs of invasive alien species across Europe

Phillip J. Haubrock et al.

Summary: This study is the first comprehensive effort to quantify the costs of IAS collectively across European countries and examine temporal trends in these data. The total costs of IAS in Europe amounted to US$140.20 billion between 1960 and 2020, with significant impacts in large western and central European countries. Temporally, invasion costs have exponentially increased through time, reaching up to US$23.58 billion in 2013 and an extrapolated US$139.56 billion in impacts in 2020.

Timing and order of different insecticide classes drive control of Drosophila suzukii; a modeling approach

Serhan Mermer et al.

Summary: The study found that various insecticides have different effects on the immature stages of D. suzukii, with spinetoram, cyantraniliprole, and malathion having relatively high impacts on immature life stages. Fruit size does not affect insecticide mortality rates for D. suzukii larvae. Model simulations demonstrated that earlier applications of more effective insecticides are key in controlling D. suzukii populations.
