Dissemination of beneficial microbial agents by insects

, 2000
Recent trends in pest management show an increased shift from insecticidal sprays towards the use of transgenic crops with insecticidal properties. This shift is partly due to the development of insect resistance to conventional insecticides and the large and increasing costs of developing and registering new chemicals.

A Survey of Bee Species Found Pollinating Watermelons in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Using a combination of flower traps and visual observations, we surveyed three watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) fields in the Lower Rio Grande Valley to determine what bees inhabit this crop in this region.

Aspects of insect chemical ecology: exploitation of reception and detection as tools for deception of pests and beneficial insects [PDF]

, 2012
Empirical exploitation of insect reception and detection at the peripheral neurosensory level has been extremely valuable for identifying pheromones and other semiochemicals, mainly by electroantennogram or single cell preparations coupled with capillary
