DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2019.104003
Abstract: Abstract Understanding insect performance on nontarget native plants is critical in the risk assessment of weed biological control agents. A combination of laboratory and field host tests could help us better understand how abiotic and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2017.05.012
Abstract: The steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), the major developmental hormone in insects, controls all the developmental transitions including ecdysis and metamorphosis. In our study with last larval stages of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, dsRNA-mediated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac106
Abstract: Abstract Heliothinae soil pupation is understudied despite the key role this life stage plays in their development. Many Heliothinae are important agricultural pests and understanding the interplay of environment and pupation is important to optimize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjy054
Abstract: Abstract Insects display different patterns of development, and blow flies have one of the most specialized patterns of intrapuparial development of all. In forensic entomology, pupae can be used as a tool to estimate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jen.12887
Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) are microscopic particles that are now found in almost all ecosystems where they may exert adverse effects on various organisms, including insects. In this study, 20 black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1008331
Abstract: Holometabolous insects stop feeding at the final larval instar stage and then undergo metamorphosis; however, the mechanism is unclear. In the present study, using the serious lepidopteran agricultural pest Helicoverpa armigera as a model, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0234676
Abstract: Male and female mosquito larvae compete for different subsets of the yeast food resource in laboratory microcosms. Males compete more intensely with males, and females with females. The amount and timing of food inputs alters… read more here.
