Systemic insecticides in cotton plants: seed treatment, protection against early-season sucking insects, and their ecological selectivity with predatory insects of different feeding habits
We tested the hypothesis that systemic insecticides should be effective against sap-sucking insects which acquire toxicants from the tissues of...

Leaf-chewing herbivores affect preference and performance of a specialist root herbivore
Plants interact with a diversity of phytophagous insects above- and belowground. By inducing plant defence, one insect herbivore species can...

Biochemical characterization of α-amylases from differently feeding pests: sap-sucking Aphis craccivora and tissue chewing Pectinophora gossypiella
Aphis craccivora (Hemiptera) is a major sucking pest of cowpea . Aphis craccivora is also known as the cowpea aphid. Pectinophora gossypiella ...

Enzyme-mediated adaptation of herbivorous insects to host phytochemicals
AbstractThe review comprehensively explores factors influencing enzyme activities in insects and their implications in defense against toxicants. It...

Host Plant Resistance to Insects in Vegetable Crops
Host plant resistance is an effective approach to manage insect pests in vegetable crops. This approach involves the use of plant traits that deter...

Plant richness, land use and temperature differently shape invertebrate leaf-chewing herbivory on plant functional groups
Higher temperatures can increase metabolic rates and carbon demands of invertebrate herbivores, which may shift leaf-chewing herbivory among plant...

The gut microbiota of insects: a potential source of bacteria and metabolites
Insects are distributed in many environments on Earth, due to the symbiotic relationships they maintain with various microorganisms. Evolutionary...

Independent wing reductions and losses among stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea), supported by new Cretaceous fossils in amber
BackgroundPhasmatodea (stick and leaf insects) play a central role on the debate regarding wing reduction and loss, and its wings are putative...
