Summary: This study demonstrates that insecticides such as Bacillus thuringiensis, cyantraniliprole, chlorantraniliprole, deltamethrin, chlorfenapyr, spinosad, azadirachtin, and spiromesifen are compatible with insecticide-resistant adult E. connexa in Brassica crops. These insecticides show high mortality effects on the larvae of diamondback moth, but do not significantly affect the survival and predation activity of E. connexa. The toxicity of different insecticides varies, with indoxacarb being more toxic to E. connexa and chlorfenapyr and methomyl being more toxic to diamondback moth larvae.

Summary: Conservation biological control techniques support integrated pest management (IPM) and insecticide resistance management (IRM) by restraining pest resurgence and outbreaks of secondary pests. The lady beetle Eriopis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is among the natural enemies in agricultural systems of brassica crops and their populations may be disrupted by exposure to insecticides. This study evaluated the consumption of Lipaphis pseudobrassicae (Davis) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) or larvae of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) by surviving lady beetles from pyrethroid-resistant and pyrethroid-susceptible populations when exposed simultaneous to the insecticides targeting these pest species.

Summary: This study assessed the lethal and sublethal effects of two insect growth regulator (IGR) insecticides on eggs and larvae of Eriopis connexa. The results showed that both insecticides had visible toxic effects on eggs and larvae, with cypermethrin showing higher toxicity to E. connexa. The toxicity of these IGR insecticides could impair the biological control effectiveness of E. connexa in agroecosystems.

Summary: The study found that chemical insecticides had harmful effects on the egg parasitoid of TLM, while the fungus did not. The applications of chemical insecticides resulted in a 3.84-5.17 times reduction in the net reproductive rate of the parasitoid. However, the fungus M. anisopliae showed remarkable synergism with the parasitoid in controlling TLM eggs.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of different chemical insecticides on Trichogramma pretiosum, a parasitoid wasp commonly used to control lepidopteran pests in cotton crops. The results showed that some insecticides had significant harmful effects on T. pretiosum, while teflubenzuron was the safest option.

Summary: This study investigates the lethal and sublethal effects of Pogostemon cablin essential oil and an essential oil-based emulsion on the coffee berry borer. The main components of the essential oil were patchoulol, alpha-Guaiene, and alpha-Bulnesene. The results show that both the essential oil and emulsion have similar toxicity, and sublethal exposure affects the behavior, reproductive output, and histological features of the coffee berry borer.

Summary: The study found that the two commonly used insecticide products have different effects on the parasitoid wasps of the pistachio green stink bugs, and sublethal effects can reduce the efficacy of biological control agents. Effective integrated pest management programs should consider avoiding antagonistic interactions between chemical and biological control methods.

Summary: The ladybird Eriopis connexa is an important natural enemy for controlling pest arthropods in agricultural systems. In this study, the suitability of three species of spider mites (Tetranychus evansi, Tetranychus urticae, Tetranychus ogmophallos) and a species of aphid (Myzus persicae) as prey for E. connexa was evaluated using two-sex life table parameters. The results showed that E. connexa could complete immature development on all prey species except for T. evansi. Among the prey species that supported E. connexa's development, T. urticae and M. persicae provided a faster development time. Oviposition days, longevity, and fecundity of E. connexa were significantly higher on T. urticae and M. persicae compared to T. ogmophallos. The net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, and finite rate of increase of E. connexa were also higher when feeding on T. urticae and M. persicae. Based on the overall performance of E. connexa, the order of prey suitability was M. persicae > T. urticae > T. ogmophallos > T. evansi.

Summary: The use of toxic baits is a common method for managing fruit flies in Brazil, but it can have negative effects on the native parasitoid Doryctobracon areolatus. The study found that the toxicity of the baits varied depending on the formulations, with baits containing alpha-cypermethrin and malathion being the most harmful to D. areolatus.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of four insecticides for controlling Plutella xylostella and their effects on Cycloneda sanguinea. The results showed that spinosad and chlorfenapyr were highly toxic to P. xylostella, while chlorantraniliprole and methomyl were ineffective. Chlorantraniliprole was highly toxic to C. sanguinea, while methomyl and chlorfenapyr were toxic to C. sanguinea when ingested. Spinosad had low toxicity to C. sanguinea, but affected its flight behavior.

Summary: The study assessed the toxicity and sublethal effects of registered insecticides used in strawberry cultivation in Brazil on Trichogramma pretiosum adults. The results showed that some insecticides had minimal impact on the parasitic wasps, providing valuable information for designing future biological control strategies in integrated pest management programs.

Summary: Exposure of Eriopis connexa to pyrethroid residues in agroecosystems has led to the development of resistance. The maintenance of selection pressure, frequency of mating with susceptible phenotypes, and reproductive performance play a major role in the development of resistance. The presence of resistant phenotypes persists even in the absence of selection pressure, and reselection can occur after insecticide exposure, explaining the high frequency of resistance in E. connexa.

Summary: Marine heatwaves are causing increasing frequency and severity of mass mortality events in coral species. This study evaluates the reproductive behavior and the effect of increased water temperature on larval survival and settlement in two Mediterranean octocoral species. The results suggest that thermal stress reduces the survival of one species' larvae but not the other, and settlement rates are not affected by elevated temperature.

Summary: Fruit flies are economically important pests that can cause losses to fruits and vegetables. In this study, the toxicity and sublethal effects of a novel insecticide, broflanilide, were evaluated on four adult fruit fly species. The results showed that broflanilide was effective against certain species but had a higher toxicity to others. The findings emphasize the importance of considering species variation when using insecticides.
