Ectotherms are exposed to a range of environmental temperatures and may face extremes
beyond their upper thermal limits. Such temperature extremes can stimulate aerobic …

Lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) is a pyrethroid insecticide widely used to control insect pests.
Insect exposure to LCT may cause abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species …

The host-pathogen interaction has been explored by several investigations, but the impact of
fungal pathogens against insect resistance is still ambiguous. Therefore, we assessed the …

This paper characterizes the heat stress response (HSR) and explores the impact of
temperatures on the immune response of larvae from two chironomid species, Prodiamesa …

In biofouling communities, ascidians are among the most damaging species, presenting
severe threats, such as depressed growth rates and decreased chances of lower survival, to …

The black cutworm (BCW), Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel)(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an
economically significant pest affecting numerous crops and turf grasses. Despite employing …

Global increases in mean temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns due to climate
change, coupled with anthropogenic pathways, have intensified biological invasions of pest …
