Research on plant–herbivore interactions has long recognized that plant genetic variation
plays a central role in driving insect abundance and herbivory, as well as in determining …

Pest resistance of trees should be taken into account in future forest strategy planning and
predicting risks of defoliation. The gypsy moth (GM)(Lymantria dispar L.) is a serious forest …

Simple Summary The papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, is a polyphagous invasive
pest that causes severe damage in China. To improve our understanding of the expansion …

With the process of urbanization and the development of cities, trees in the urban
environment are becoming increasingly important. Those trees represent a habitat and a …

Temperature and food quality are the most important environmental factors determining the
performance of herbivorous insects. The objective of our study was to evaluate the …

A consequence of plant diversity is that it can allow or force herbivores to consume multiple
plant species, which studies indicate can have major effects on herbivore fitness. An …

In this study, a detailed phytochemical investigation of compounds in the twigs of the
mistletoe Loranthus europaeus Jacq., which belongs to the Loranthaceae family, is …

Simple Summary Knowledge about the relationships between plant pathogens, arthropods,
and their natural enemies is scarce. We studied the relationships between the plant fungal …

To study dietary pH effects on Lymantria dispar asiatica larvae and provide a theoretical
basis for its control in different forests, phosphate buffers (PBs) of pH 6, 7, and 8 were used …

In the peripheral taste system of insects, the responsiveness of gustatory receptor neurons
(GRNs) depends on several factors, such as larval instar, feeding history, physiological state …
