Impact of Climate Change on Peach Fruit Moth Phenology: A Regional Perspective from China.

It is widely recognized that the phenology of insects, of which the life activities are closely tied to temperature, is shifting in response to global climate warming. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of climate change on the phenology of Matsumura, 1900 (Lepidoptera: Carposinidae) across large temporal and spatial scales, through collecting and systematically analyzing historical data on the pest's occurrence and population dynamics in China. The results showed that for overwintering adults, the first occurrence date in eastern, northwestern, and northern China has significantly advanced, along with the population peak in eastern and northwestern China.

How Climate Warming Influences the Phenology of (Busck, 1916) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in China: Insight from Long-Term Historical Data.

(Busck, 1916), a significant pest affecting various fruits such as pears, apples, peaches, etc., is highly adaptable to changing temperatures. However, the phenological response mechanism of this pest to climate warming remains unclear.

Forecasting the Expansion of (Miyake) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in China Using the MaxEnt Model.

The invasive pest, (Miyake), has become a significant threat to China's citrus industry. Predicting the area of potentially suitable habitats for is essential for optimizing pest control strategies that mitigate its impact on the citrus industry. Here, existing distribution data for , as well as current climate data and projections for four future periods (2021-2040, 2041-2060, 2061-2080, and 2081-2100) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) were obtained.

Host-Seeking Behavior of Aphidius gifuensis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) Modulated by Chemical Cues Within a Tritrophic Context.

Aphidius gifuensis Ashmaed is a generalist endoparasitoid that parasitizes a variety of aphid species. In China, it is widely used as a biological control agent to protect vegetables and tobaccos in open fields; control efficiency is largely dependent on its host-seeking ability. In this study, a six-choice olfactometer was used to investigate the olfactory responses of A.

Chemical Cues Induced from Fly-Oviposition Mediate the Host-Seeking Behaviour of (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an Effective Egg Parasitoid of (Diptera: Tephritidae), within a Tritrophic Context.

is a solitary endoparasitoid that parasitizes a variety of tephritid species. Native to the Indo-Australian region, it is currently exploited worldwide as a biological control agent due to its exceptional efficiency in reducing pest populations. The efficiency of any biological control program is affected by the host location ability of the parasitoids.
