TL;DR: Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, a native of eastern and southeastern Asia, is a pest of small and stone fruits and a potential economic threat to a host of soft- and thin-skinned fruit crops.

TL;DR: The experiments reported here indicate that long-term survival of D. suzukii is unlikely at temperatures below 10 °C, and lower survival is predicted in Eastern Washington and Michigan.

TL;DR: Several homemade baits were more efficient than apple cider vinegar, a commonly used standard, and a commercially formulated lure was, in some configurations and environments, comparable with the most effective homemade attractant as well as potentially more selective.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the commonly used insecticides and molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance in six major urban insect pests: house fly, German cockroach, mosquitoes, red flour beetle, bed bugs and head louse.

TL;DR: This study determined resistance ratios of T. urticae populations in hops to three acaricides and investigated the mechanisms underlying resistance to etoxazole, fenpyroximate, and spirodiclofen, which will help in designing sustainable pest control strategies for the polyphagous pest.
