Spodoptera frugiperda: Insights into strain dynamics and dispersal in Türkiye

Field monitoring of the invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda and its natural enemies in Türkiye

Identification of Egg Parasitoids of the Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize Production Centers of East Lombok Regency

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a major invasive pest of maize that causes substantial economic losses in Indonesia. The use of egg parasitoids as natural enemies represents an environmentally friendly alternative for biological control. This study aimed to document the egg-parasitoid taxa associated with S. frug...

Molecular identification of Comstockaspis perniciosa and its associated Aphytis parasitoid in apple orchards of Kazakhstan

Comstockaspis perniciosa (Comstock, 1881) is one of the most destructive quarantine pests of fruit crops, posing a serious threat to commercial orchards and natural populations of wild apple trees. Despite its widespread distribution, information on the molecular genetic characteristics of this species in Centra...

Occurrence of Larval Parasitoids Associated with Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize Production Centers of East Lombok

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a major invasive pest of maize that causes serious damage and yield losses in various regions of Indonesia, including East Lombok Regency. The utilization of parasitoids as natural enemies is one of the biological control strategies that plays an important role in supporting integr...

Unravelling the genetic diversity and population structure of Sitophilus oryzae L. in North India using mitochondrial COI sequences

North Indian populations of S. oryzae exhibit low genetic diversity, which has implications for pest management strategies primarily involving the use of fumigants, and the phylogenetic tree supported the genetic homogeneity of the population.

Investigation of the genetic diversity of pearl spot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790), through DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis from two habitats

Etroplus suratensis (pearl spot) is a commercially important cichlid native to South and Southeast Asia, yet its genetic variation in habitats of Karnataka has not been previously studied. This study integrates morphological and molecular approaches to examine specimens from freshwater (n=65) and brackish water (n=60)...
