Summary: The article presents a method on rearing brown marmorated stink bugs on live cowpea plants and proposes techniques to induce adults to enter and exit diapause. This scalable system provides access to a large number of specimens each week, which is particularly useful for developing treatment efficacy data.

Summary: The governments of Australia and New Zealand require phytosanitary treatment to control brown marmorated stink bugs in imported nonhorticultural consignments. A commercial fumigant called eFUME, consisting of a dilution of ethyl formate in carbon dioxide, effectively controlled overwintering adult stink bugs in field-collected samples. The study provides further insights into the technical and operational aspects of using this fumigant in commercial practice.

Summary: The study found that radiation significantly reduced the lifespan of male stink bugs, but did not affect the longevity and fecundity of their female partners and offspring. The negative effects of radiation exposure were inherited by the F1 generation, leading to shortened developmental duration and decreased weight gain.

Summary: Chemosensory protein HhalCSP15 was found to be enriched in the antennae of Halyomorpha halys, suggesting its involvement in olfactory perception. Three natural compounds showed strong binding abilities with HhalCSP15, with EEZ-MDT acting as a kairomone during host plant foraging in H. halys. These findings provide insight into the physiological roles of CSPs in H. halys and expand the understanding of CSPs' olfactory function in stink bugs.

Summary: The study deployed fresh and frozen H. halys egg masses in Kyoto, Japan to determine the species composition, phenology, and efficiency of egg parasitoids in the native region. The results revealed insights on the abundance and parasitism rates of native H. halys parasitoids, with Trissolcus japonicus having the highest parasitism rate.

Summary: This study shows that cold storage can extend the shelf life of parasitoid wasps, but it also decreases the number of offspring produced. The parasitism behavior of the wasps is not affected by host density, but it is significantly reduced after cold storage. These findings have important implications for the artificial rearing and cultivation of insects like parasitoid wasps in biological control programs.

Summary: The brown marmorated stink bug, native to Asia, has become a key pest in Europe and North America by feeding on important crops. Studies suggest it may also spread to Australia, prompting research into management options. Models of its potential distribution and that of its natural enemies show overlap, indicating potential for biological control.

Summary: The study found that the flight capacity of the brown marmorated stink bug is not affected by gender, starvation, age, or mating status. Flight distance and flight time are also not influenced by these factors. The number of flight bouts and velocity increase significantly with longer starvation periods but decrease with increasing age.

Summary: Brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, was studied in mountain and plains regions, showing univoltine and bivoltine life cycles, respectively. Poor establishment of the bug in plains was attributed to heat stress and oviposition issues. A model was developed to understand the relationship between cumulative degree-days and oviposition and adult eclosion.

Summary: The polyphagous brown marmorated stink bug is an important pest that can feed on and cause damage to strawberries. Its attacks lead to a decrease in sugar content and an increase in phenolic compounds in the strawberries, impacting the plant's secondary metabolism. Infested fruit are not suitable for commercial production due to off-flavors produced.

Summary: High temperature events have a significant impact on the survival and reproduction of H. halys, while the influence of humidity on its survival rate depends on temperature and life stage. High humidity may increase first instar survival but decrease third to fourth instar survival.

Summary: The invasive pest Halyomorpha halys can cause severe damage to fruits and vegetables, particularly peppers. This study investigated the metabolic response of infested peppers, how different pepper cultivars react to infestation, and the impact of H. halys on post-harvest quality. The results showed a significant decrease in metabolite levels after storage, with a marked reduction in capsaicinoids in both pungent and non-pungent peppers. Additionally, there was an increase in capsaicinoid content in infested fruits, suggesting a potential defensive function against H. halys.

Summary: The study revealed hidden genetic diversity among the studied BMSB populations across continents, with populations from Japan genetically distant from others and populations from China genetically differentiated from Japanese and others. Further genetic structure analysis indicated at least three genetic clusters in invaded countries, possibly originating via multiple invasions.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of Halyomorpha halys infestation on the phenolic response and fruit quality in olives. The infested fruits showed significantly increased total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. The pierced tissue of damaged fruits exhibited substantial increases in various phenolic compounds, particularly oleuropein. Overall, this research provides insights into the phenolic response of olives to H. halys infestation.

Summary: The recent study focused on the spatiotemporal distribution of stink bugs and their natural enemies across farmscapes. However, little attention has been given to the impact of plant height on vertical stratification of stink bugs and their natural enemies in diverse habitats. This study investigated the capture of different stink bug species and a predaceous wasp in different habitats and at varying heights, and evaluated the effects of canopy height and habitat on stink bug egg mass predation and parasitism.

Summary: The study found that higher pollinator diversity contributes to greater inter-annual stability in pollinator communities; temporal variation in pollinator abundance is primarily driven by the three-most dominant species; crops in tropical regions demonstrate higher inter-annual variability in pollinator species richness compared to crops in temperate regions.

Summary: This study aims to review the current literature employing molecular analysis to reveal the roles of species in providing biological control in agricultural systems. The research findings suggest that there is still a lack of understanding of biological control communities in many agricultural systems, and new techniques utilizing DNA analysis can help integrate natural pest management into standard operating procedures.

Summary: The study investigated the sensitivity of ethanol-infused bolts compared to ethanol pouches for monitoring ambrosia beetles, as well as the effect of aging ethanol pouches on beetle captures in bottle traps. Results showed that ethanol-infused bolts were more effective than ethanol pouches in capturing ambrosia beetles in both ornamental nurseries and pecan orchards. The aging of ethanol pouches did not significantly affect beetle captures in bottle traps within the study period.

Summary: This study assessed the occurrence and abundance regulation factors of the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), an invasive insect pest. The models created accurately predicted the distribution and abundance of BMSB, indicating a 70% increase in suitable habitat under future climate scenarios. Combining models of establishment and population dynamics offers an effective way to forecast the spread and impact of invasive species, allowing for targeted mitigation efforts.

Summary: This study found that frozen and refrigerated H. halys egg masses were more prone to parasitism compared to fresh ones, both in lab and field experiments. Furthermore, natural H. halys egg masses showed higher parasitism and lower predation compared to sentinel egg masses in soybean fields. This suggests that collecting natural egg masses is the most effective method for assessing parasitism in the field.
