Review of Agricultural Entomology

CAB Direct (CABI's own platform)

Acridoidea

Studies on grasshoppers and locusts

Arthropod biology

All aspects are covered including:

- taxonomy and evolution
- life history, reproduction and development
- morphology and anatomy
- genetics
- physiology and biochemistry
- behaviour
- ecology (environmental effects, habitats, spatial distribution, interactions with other organisms, such as symbionts and vertebrates, population dynamics…)

Arthropod diseases

Covers diseases caused by all kinds of entomopathogens (entomopathogenic bacteria, entomogenous fungi, insect viruses, entomophilic nematodes)

Formicidae

Studies on ants

Gastropoda

Studies on slug and snail pests of crops

Geographical distribution, checklists and faunas

- new geographic records of plant pests and potential plant pests
- general studies of plant pest distribution
- checklists including plant pests in specified regions

Isoptera

Studies on termites

Natural enemies of weeds and wild plants

Arthropods feeding on weeds and wild plants

Pest control

All forms of pest control are included:

- biological control
- integrated control
- cultural control
- physical control (including barriers)
- chemical control
- trapping (pheromone traps, bait traps…)
- mating disruption
- sterile insect release
- pest resistance
- quarantine

Pesticides

All aspects of insecticides, acaricides and molluscicides are covered, including:

- chemistry, formulations, synthesis
- usage
- legislation
- effects on target and nontarget organisms (toxicity, sublethal effects)
- pesticide resistance
- residues in the environment, other organisms, food and fodder
- degradation and environmental effects

Pests in relation to crops and products

Pest damage, economic thresholds and control in relation to:

- field crops (cereals, grain legumes, root crops, fibre plants, oilseed plants…)
- fodder crops & pastures
- horticultural crops (vegetables, fruit, nuts, ornamental plants, stimulant plants, herb & spice plants, dye plants, hops, pesticidal plants, rubber plants, edible fungi, essential oil plants….)
- forest trees
- stored products

Plant diseases

Plant diseases in relation to arthropod vectors

Predatory arthropods, parasitoids and ectoparasites

Covers arthropod natural enemies of arthropod or gastropod pests of crops and stored products, and ectoparasites of agricultural importance e.g. those of bees

Techniques, equipment and machinery

Laboratory and field techniques and equipment for arthropod/gastropod or pesticide study and machinery for pesticide application

Useful arthropods

Studies on useful arthropods such as pollinators, silkworms, lac insects and edible insects
