Arthropod crop pests are responsible for 20% of global annual crop losses, a figure predicted to increase in a changing climate where the ranges of numerous species are projected to expand. At the same time, many insect species are beneficial, acting as pollinators and predators of pest species.
Dec 1, 2023 · This review examines the climate change effect on insect pest biology and ecology and explores the potential use of modern pest monitoring technologies and prediction tools to devise effective pest management strategies to improve crop production and food security.

The Section “Insect Pest and Vector Management” covers all aspects of research focusing on the development of tools and methods for mitigation of arthropod pests, including pathogen vectors.
Nov 7, 2014 · Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein-coding genes.

Mar 29, 2018 · Abstract. Insect pests cause substantial losses to food and fiber crops worldwide. Additionally, they vector human and domestic animal diseases. The dependence on pesticides as a sole method of control has resulted in the development of insect resistance and negative effects on human health, natural enemies, and the environment.
Nov 10, 2022 · The Dipteran group, Tephritid, comprise destructive pests that are a threat to agricultural crops. Genetic approaches for pest management are very promising methods for tephritid population control. This involves genetic manipulations which enables the insect to transmit lethal traits or renders them sterile.
