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 ...

Responses of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Protein Bait Applied at Different Densities
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 736-742, July 2026.ABSTRACT The effectiveness of odour‐based lures for insects is related to their active space, the air volume around an odour source in which an insect will detect and move towards it. This principle applies to protein baits laced with toxicants that are used as either sprays or stations to suppress pest fruit fly populations.
