Morphology and distribution of mouthpart sensilla in Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae): insights into feeding biology

Maria Chiara Battistelli, Lorenzo Corsi, Paola Riolo, Nunzio Isidoro et autres

Abstract The brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a globally invasive pest, but detailed information on the ultrastructure and sensory organization of its mouthparts remains incomplete. Using scanning electron microscopy, we examined the piercing-sucking apparatus of H . halys …

Species Composition and Emergence Patterns of Agriotes litigiosus, A. brevis and A. sordidus (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in Central Italy

Abdalhadi M.A. Abulebda, Giorgio Sperandio, Sara Ruschioni, Matteo Pacella et autres

Click beetles (Agriotes spp.) are major agricultural pests whose larvae, known as wireworms, cause serious damage to a wide range of crops. Effective management requires a clear understanding of species composition and adult emergence patterns. This study investigated three Agriotes species in …

Natural and Synthetic Agents Shape WirewormBehaviour: Responses of Agriotes lineatus and A. litigiosus

Abdalhadi M.A. Abulebda, Eva Praprotnik, Sara Ruschioni, Massimo Zaccardelli et autres

Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are major subterranean crop pests whose hidden soil-dwelling behaviour and strong orientation toward plant roots complicate their control within Integrated Pest Management (IPM). We aimed to determine whether selected natural and synthetic agents could influence the behaviour of two …

Pheromone Race Composition of Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) and Larval Co-Occurrence with Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize in Central-Eastern Italy

Diego Palpacelli, Giorgio Sperandio, Matteo Pacella, Fabio Ramilli et autres

Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) and Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are major maize pests in the central-eastern Mediterranean area, responsible for both quantitative and qualitative yield losses. This study investigated the corn borer species present in central-eastern Italy, the presence and prevalence of …

Bioconversion of Seasonal Vegetable By-Products into Nutrient-Rich Biomass Using Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Oghenetega Lois Orhotohwo, Benedetta Fanesi, Lama Ismaiel, Anastasiya Kuhalskaya et autres

Agro-industrial processes generate large volumes of by-products rich in proteins, lipids, and bioactives, yet their valorization remains limited. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFLs) offer a sustainable route to convert these residues into nutrient-rich biomass. We evaluated six seasonal by-product diets (pea–chickpea, chickpea–green …

A pilot study to assess carabids (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as potential bioindicators of microplastics contamination in soils

Simone Meacci, Melissa Orsini, Lucia Pittura, Alessandro Nardi et autres

Microplastics are pervasive pollutants across ecosystems, posing environmental risks due to their bioavailability and toxicity. Monitoring microplastics presence in different environments is crucial, and employing simple, cost-effective methods, such as using insects as bioindicators, can be highly effective. In this pilot study, …
