“…Minimal genetic structuring in P. vittatum was anticipated due to the species’ high abundance and mobility across pastures and agricultural areas of Australia (Farrow, Nicolas, & Dowse, ; Yadav et al, ). The lower genetic differentiation in wide‐ranging species is often coupled with an absence of IBD (e.g., in cotton aphids: Gholamian, Razmjou, Bani Hashemian, & Sabouri, ) as found in the current study for P. vittatum . However, in species with broad tolerances in terms of habitat and climatic conditions, environmental factors may still facilitate or restrict gene flow in more subtle ways that are not detectable using standard, nonspatially explicit analyses of genetic structure.…”

Widespread species that exhibit both high gene flow and the capacity to occupy heterogeneous environments make excellent models for examining local selection processes along environmental gradients. Here we evaluate the influence of temperature and landscape variables on genetic connectivity and signatures of local adaptation in Phaulacridium vittatum, a widespread agricultural pest grasshopper, endemic to Australia. With sampling across a 900‐km latitudinal gradient, we genotyped 185 P. vittatum from 19 sites at 11,408 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using ddRAD sequencing. Despite high gene flow across sites (pairwise FST = 0.0003–0.08), landscape genetic resistance modelling identified a positive nonlinear effect of mean annual temperature on genetic connectivity. Urban areas and water bodies had a greater influence on genetic distance among sites than pasture, agricultural areas and forest. Together, FST outlier tests and environmental association analysis (EAA) detected 242 unique SNPs under putative selection, with the highest numbers associated with latitude, mean annual temperature and body size. A combination of landscape genetic connectivity analysis together with EAA identified mean annual temperature as a key driver of both neutral gene flow and environmental selection processes. Gene annotation of putatively adaptive SNPs matched with gene functions for olfaction, metabolic detoxification and ultraviolet light shielding. Our results imply that this widespread agricultural pest has the potential to spread and adapt under shifting temperature regimes and land cover change.

“…In the form of nanoemulsion, Citrus sinensis oil exhibited an aphicidal effect on cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii [108]. Cotton aphids are a serious pest of citrus, causing damage through feeding and serving as a vector for several viruses [109]. When administered at concentrations of 4% and 6%, the oil extracted from citrus fruits from the same orchard induced a mortality of over 90% in the aphid population.…”

Biopesticides, alongside the expansive growth of conventional agriculture, emerged as a hopeful avenue for mitigating the environmental impact of synthetic chemicals. Essential oils derived from various plant species are regarded as environmentally friendly and have been suggested by numerous researchers for combating the pest species. However, in addition to their detrimental effects on harmful species, these essential oils exert varying degrees of impact on non-target species with which they share ecological relationships. This review serves the dual purpose of updating data on the use of the essential oils as biopesticides, considering the substantial increase in research output in the recent years. Simultaneously, it aims to provide a focused synthesis on the essential oils currently approved for commercial use as biopesticides, and shedding light on their impact on beneficial pollinator species, which may inadvertently suffer from the application of substances deemed safe by most users.
