Improving Cry8Ka toxin activity towards the cotton boll weevil (
BMC Biotechnology, 2011 Background The cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) is a serious insect-pest in the Americas, particularly in Brazil. The use of chemical or biological insect control is not effective against the cotton boll weevil because of its endophytic life style.

Survival pattern of the boll weevil during cotton fallow in Midwestern Brazil [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017 : The objective of this work was to determine the survival pattern of the cotton boll weevil during fallow in Midwestern Brazil. The percentage of adults that remained in the cotton reproductive structures, the percentage of adults searching for shelters,

Population Genomics Approaches Identify a Cryptic, Emerging Generalist Pest Complex
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Molecular gut content analysis and RAD‐seq analysis revealed a peanut pest complex where previously only one species was considered problematic. Both species exhibited a wide, but somewhat distinct, variety of plants among their diets, and peanut‐feeding was rare. Diet generalism combined with a stepwise pattern of dispersal among fields might underlie

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 508-514, August 2026.Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...

Nucleases as a barrier to gene silencing in the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 RNA interference (RNAi) approaches have been applied as a biotechnological tool for controlling plant insect pests via selective gene down regulation. However, the inefficiency of RNAi mechanism in insects is associated with several barriers, including ...
