TL;DR: This is the first report to characterize volatiles from FS(0), FS(1) and FS(2) cultures of entomopathogenic fungi; its utility in different aspects opens an interesting area for further investigations.

TL;DR: The number of visits after 24–48 h, oviposition punctures, and pupae made by both species were lower on the treated mangoes in comparison to untreated mangoes and the P. nigrum was the most effective repellent against B. correcta.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that foragers could adjust the rhythms in foraging behavior according to light–dark cycle and suggested that Sifor may play an important role in the response of S. invicta to photoperiod.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that temperature might play an important role in circadian foraging rhythms activity of S. invicta and this results may have implications for the development of more effective fire ant management strategies.

TL;DR: Results indicated that fungus treatment during the pupal stage of B. dorsalis, not only caused significant mortality of target pupae, but also influence the survival of the emerged adults and among the six entomopathogenic fungi, M. anisopliae Ma04 presented the highest virulence against B. dorsalalis.
