The application of (synthetic) gene drives is a powerful tool to control populations of insects
that are agricultural pests, vectors of diseases, or a threat to biodiversity potentially leading …

Recent synthesis studies have shown inconsistent responses of crop pests to landscape
composition, imposing a fundamental limit to our capacity to design sustainable crop …

Drosophila suzukii (SWD) poses a threat to soft and stone fruit globally. SWD inhabits non‐
crop areas adjacent to farms from where it moves into crops to cause damage. Effective IPM …

In temperate regions, generalist insect pests are expected to use multiple habitats and host
plant species over the different seasons. Landscape composition and configuration can also …

Semi‐natural areas may promote Drosophila suzukii population dynamics by providing
alternative host resources, overwintering habitats and refuge areas during cold, warm or dry …

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931), spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is one of the most
serious pests of a wide range of soft-skinned fruit. After its arrival and spread in Europe, the …

Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura)(Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an insect pest
originating in South-East Asia that has invaded Europe (EU) and the Americas. This insect …

The invasive vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii not only infests and damages numerous fruit
crops but also develops in many wild fruit species in semi-natural habitats. Biological control …

Urban environments are vulnerable to the introduction of non-native species and sometimes
contribute to their invasion success. Knowing how urban landscape features affect the …
