The global agriculture often faces new threats from invasive alien insect pests, pathogens, weeds etc requiring immediate attention and co-operative action to manage the pestilence. In this regard, the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is a notorious pestiferous insect with high dispersa...

Rapid dissemination of critical and accurate information to low-resource and poorly literate people in crisis situations has long been a challenge. Historically, print media as well as radio and television have served as major delivery channels. With the advent of cellphones, SMS (texting), and t...

In this study, we investigate the spatio-temporal fluctuations of the cashew leafminer Eteoryctis gemoniella Stainton, which was recently reported as one of the most devastating cashew pests in Benin. Eteoryctis gemoniella causes serious damage, especially to the young tender leaves, thus reducin...

Anoplolepis tenella is a ground-nesting ant of the tropical forest zone of Central Africa, commonly associated with African root and tuber scale, Stictococcus vayssierei Richard, an emerging cassava pest. Understanding the ant’s foraging activity and diet breadth is an important step towards deve...

Difficulties of identification of natural enemies of cereal stemborers for 'redistribution' in Africa are discussed. Tritrophic level studies on wild and cultivated habitats of borers and beneficial species are needed to judge the impact of a natural enemy species in the cropping system. Areas wi...

Ladybird beetles in the tribe Epilachnini include notorious crop pests and model species studied intensively in various fields of evolutionary biology. From a combined dataset of mitochondrial (ND2) and nuclear (28S) DNA sequences, we reconstructed the phylogeny of 46 species of Epilachnini from ...

Inventory of insects associated with Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae) was conducted from June 2011 to May 2012 at 5 sites in southern and central Benin. Thirty-two major insect pests and 14 natural enemies, including 6 parasitoids and 8 predators, were recorded. The most important phytophagous ...

Although numerous adults of the buprestid genus Steraspis Dejean, 1833, have been captured in West Africa, little is known about the biology of the known species, especially about their immature stages. The objective of the present field observations was to increase the knowledge on the biology o...
