Climate Change and Its Effects on Pest–Pathogen Complexes
Climate change is intensifying the complexity and severity of pest–pathogen interactions in agriculture, threatening global food security. Rising temperatures, elevated CO2 levels, shifting precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are reshaping vector ecology, accelerating insect development, altering pathogen virulence, and disrupting plant ...

Abstract Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the fungal pathogen, Fusarium verticillioides, and they are widespread in corn (Zea mays L.), especially in the Southeastern United States. While there are several post‐harvest mitigation strategies to reduce fumonisin, there are limited studies testing pre‐harvest strategies. Therefore, field studies were

Hybrid AI Model With CNNs and Vision Transformers for Precision Pest Classification in Crops
This study proposes a hybrid deep learning model integrating CNNs, attention mechanisms, and Vision Transformers for accurate classification of five major rice crop pests. The model captures both fine‐grained local features and global spatial relationships, achieving a high accuracy of 95% on an augmented dataset.

Evidence for Female Autodetection and Plasticity of Pheromone Response in Helicoverpa zea
This study addressed detection and behavioral responses to conspecific pheromones (autodetection) in female corn earworm moths, Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Electroantennogram recordings showed that prior exposure to pheromones significantly decreased antennal sensitivity.

ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

Registration of two Arachis hypogaea x A. diogoi introgression lines
Abstract Two (2n = 4x = 40) peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) germplasm lines, GP‐NC WS 18 (IL‐29) (Reg. no. GP‐254, PI 708341) and GP‐NC WS 19 (IL‐49) (Reg. no. GP‐255, PI 708342), originated from interspecific hybridization between Gregory (2n = 4x = 40; AABB genomes; PI 608666) and A. diogoi Hoehne (2n = 2x = 20; AA genome) (GKP 10602; PI 276235).

Damage to grain sorghum by the corn earworm–Heliothis zea (Boddie) –has been especially severe in Butte and Glenn counties. Certain fields examined in 1957 and 1958 showed 90%-99% of the heads to be infested.
