Multiple origins of the sodium channel kdr mutations in codling moth populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Resistance to insecticides is one interesting example of a rapid current evolutionary change. DNA variability in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene (trans-membrane segments 5 and 6 in domain II) was investigated in order to estimate resistance ...

Toxicity and residual activity of spinetoram to neonate larvae of Grapholita molesta (Busck) and Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): Semi-field and laboratory trials [PDF]
, 2016 Spinetoram is a fermentation insecticide, derived from the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa. It works by disrupting the GABA-gated chloride channels and by causing persistent activation of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Head Capsule Widths as an Indicator of the Larval Instar of Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Head capsule width was a reliable indicator of larval instar in a strain of Michigan codling moths, Cydia pomonella. Head capsules were 0.33, 0.50, 0.82, 1.18 and 1.55 mm in width from first to fifth instar respectively.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.
