Continuous Mapping Identifies Loci Associated With Weevil Resistance [Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar)] in a Triploid Banana Population. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2021 The first step toward marker-assisted selection is linking the phenotypes to molecular markers through quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. While the process is straightforward in self-pollinating diploid (2x) species, QTL analysis in polyploids ...

First phylogenetic analysis of Dryophthorinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) based on structural alignment of ribosomal DNA reveals Cenozoic diversification. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 This study presents the first phylogeny of the palm weevil subfamily Dryophthorinae (1,200 species, 153 genera), a group that is mainly associated with monocots and includes major pests, such as the Red and South American Palm Weevils. This study includes genetic sampling of all major lineages worldwide, integrated structural alignment of ribosomal DNA

Visual Cues Are Relevant in Behavioral Control Measures for Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2011 Trap designs for banana root borer, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), have been done essentially on the understanding that C. sordidus rely primarily on chemical cues. Our present results indicate that these borers also rely on visual cues.
