Overview

Nicolas Desneux is affiliated with INRAE, the Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement in France. Their academic work primarily focuses on agricultural and biological sciences, with a strong emphasis on insect science and related subfields. The main areas of study in their research include insect-plant interactions and control, insect pest control strategies, insect and pesticide research, insect resistance and genetics, plant and animal studies, insect behavior and control techniques, and forest insect ecology and management.

The scientist has contributed extensively to a range of publication venues, frequently publishing in Entomologia Generalis, Journal of Pest Science, Pest Management Science, Insects, and EFSA Journal. Their body of work includes significant papers such as:

  • Scientists' warning on climate change and insects, 2022, Ecological Monographs
  • Invasiveness, biology, ecology, and management of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, 2022, Entomologia Generalis
  • Biological Control with Trichogramma in China: History, Present Status, and Perspectives, 2020, Annual Review of Entomology
  • Integrated pest management of Tuta absoluta: practical implementations across different world regions, 2021, Journal of Pest Science
  • Hormesis and insects: Effects and interactions in agroecosystems, 2022, The Science of The Total Environment

Collaboration plays an important role in their research output. Frequent co-authors include Farman Ullah, Lian-Sheng Zang, Hina Gul, Antonio Biondi, and Lucie S. Monticelli, with multiple joint publications across various topics related to insect science and pest management.

In terms of book publications, Nicolas Desneux has contributed to works published by the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement. One such publication is titled Probabilité d'introduction de Bactrocera dorsalis (mouche orientale des fruits) en France métropolitaine, released in 2024.
