The impact of social complexity on the efficacy of natural selection in termites by Roux, Camille, Ha, Alice, Weyna, Arthur, Lode, Morgan, Romiguier, Jonathan

“…In eusocial species, reproduction is monopolized by a few reproductive individuals.From the perspective of population genetics, this implies that the effective population size (Ne) of these organisms is likely to be smaller compared to solitary species, as has been proposed in the literature for eusocial hymenoptera. In this study, we investigate the genomic consequences of eusociality in termites (Isoptera) on two different timescales. …”

Laboratory and field efficacy of natural products against the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys and side effects on the biocontrol agent Trissolcus japonicus by Elena Chierici, Elisa Marchetti, Adriana Poccia, Antonio Russo, Vito Antonio Giannuzzi, Lorenzo Governatori, Luca Zucchi, Gabriele Rondoni, Eric Conti

“…Here, we conducted laboratory and field investigations to evaluate organically registered products for their effectiveness against H. halys and their non-target effect on the egg parasitoid, Trissolcus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). In the laboratory, azadirachtin, orange oil, potassium salts of fatty acids, kaolin, basalt dust, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, sulphur formulations, calcium polysulfide, and mixtures of sulphurs plus diatomaceous earth or zeolite demonstrated higher lethality against H. halys nymphs compared to control. …”
