DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23494
Abstract: Parasite infestations depend on multiple host‐related and environmental factors. In the case of ectoparasites, which are exposed to the environment beyond the host, an impact of climate, expressed by seasonal or yearly variations, can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4881
Abstract: Trees in residential environments are affected by a unique combination of environmental and anthropogenic factors, including occasional insect outbreaks that are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change. We studied loblolly pine trees… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70098
Abstract: Facultative anadromous salmonids may alter migratory behavior to mitigate against detrimental infections of aquaculture‐derived salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis); however, this likely incurs negative growth and fitness consequences. This flexibility in migratory behavior also creates analytical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.10331
Abstract: BACKGROUND Aphids are common insect pests that feed on and excrete feces/honeydew on storage vegetables, especially in the temperate region of the northern hemisphere. The honeydew of aphids is an excellent growth medium for microorganisms.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.10903
Abstract: BACKGROUND Mangoes are tropical fruits appreciated worldwide but are extremely perishable, susceptible to decay, pest infestation and fungal diseases. Using the flavorful and highly valued 'Manila' cultivar, we examined the effect of second-generation chitosan coatings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6941
Abstract: BACKGROUND Helicoverpa armigera is a major insect pest of several crop plants, including pigeonpea. Resistant gene sources are not available in the cultivated gene pool, however, resistance has been observed in its crop wild relative,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7206
Abstract: BACKGROUND Metabolic reconfiguration in plants is a hallmark response to insect herbivory that occurs in the attack site and systemically in undamaged tissues. Metabolomic systemic responses can occur rapidly while the herbivore is still present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/vms3.222
Abstract: Abstract Background Cysticercus tenuicollis (larvae of Taenia hydatigena) is a frequent cosmopolitan endoparasite of ruminants. The infestation by this parasite is underestimated since it is neither zoonotic nor inducing high economic losses in the sheep… read more here.
