Burrowing activity of coconut rhinoceros beetle on Guam cycads [PDF]
Communicative and Integrative Biology, 2020 Guam’s established population of non-native coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB, Oryctes rhinoceros L.) began creating burrows in stem apices of several cycad species in a managed garden. We conducted an island-wide survey to determine the spatial patterns of

Draft genome sequence, annotation and SSR mining data of Oryctes rhinoceros Linn. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), the coconut rhinoceros beetle [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2021 The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), Oryctes rhinoceros Linn. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), is one of the major pests of coconut causing severe yield losses. The adult beetles feed on unopened spear leaf (resulting in the typical ‘V’-shaped cuts), spathes,

Examination of population genetics of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) and the incidence of its biocontrol agent (Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus) in the South Pacific Islands [PDF]
Current Research in Insect Science, 2021 Recently, incursions of the Coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), Oryctes rhinoceros, have been detected in south Pacific countries that were previously free of the pest. It has been suggested that this range expansion is related to an O. rhinoceros haplotype

Identification of Components of the Aggregation Pheromone of the Guam Strain of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros, and Determination of Stereochemistry. [PDF]
J Chem Ecol, 2022 AbstractThe coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros (Linnaeus 1758) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) (CRB), is endemic to tropical Asia where it damages both coconut and oil palm. A new invasion by CRB occurred on Guam in 2007 and eradication attempts failed using commonly applied Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus (OrNV) isolates.
