Stop me if you can: quantification of the effect of interfaces between plots on the dispersal of Cosmopolites sordidus

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 5106-5115, December 2023., 2023
Cosmopolites sordidus that is dispersing by crawling had contrasted capacities to cross interfaces between plots. Some interfaces slow down dispersal and can thus be implemented in management strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Cosmopolites sordidus is one of the most damaging pests of banana worldwide.

Decoding attraction: Improving vine weevil monitoring by exploiting key sensory cues

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4635-4643, November 2023., 2023
Vine weevil adults preferred black, tall and large‐diameter monitoring tools. Monitoring tool density influenced the number of vine weevils recorded in monitoring tools. By contrast plant density did not influence the number of weevils recorded in monitoring tools.

Susceptibility of Eucalyptus trees to defoliation by the Eucalyptus snout beetle, Gonipterus sp. n. 2, is enhanced by high foliar contents of 1,8‐cineole, oxalic acid and sucrose and low contents of palmitic and shikimic acid

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 3481-3500, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Gonipterus sp. n. 2 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is an invasive, commercially important weevil that causes large‐scale defoliation of Eucalyptus trees. The weevil specifically feeds on young leaves and new shoots, thus reducing tree growth. The weevil displays a very strong preference for certain Eucalyptus genotypes, however, this behaviour ...

Assessing the effect of complex ground types on ground‐dwelling arthropod movements with video monitoring: Dealing with concealed movements under a layer of plant residues

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
We present a method to monitor and characterize the movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods in mesocosms with realistic ground covers. The method, based on infra‐red video tracking and trajectory processing, made it possible to track night‐time movements that were partially concealed by plant residues.

Characterization, identification and virulence of Metarhizium species from Cuba to control the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius Fabricius (Coleoptera: Brentidae)

Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 3705-3716, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims Entomopathogenic Metarhizium fungi are widely recognized for their biological control potential. In Cuba, several fungus‐based bio‐insecticides have been developed and are produced as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes for economically relevant agricultural pests.

Influence of plant and residue age on attraction, acceptance and larval survival of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]

, 2009
Laboratory trials were conducted in Uganda at the Kawanda Agricultural Research Institute to determine attraction, eclosion success and larval survivorship of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) on crop residues of different ages.

Pest categorisation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4), an ascomycete fungus causing Fusarium wilt (Panama disease) on Musa spp. Foc TR4 is pathogenic to the commercial banana varieties including those of the ‘Cavendish’ group and is considered as the most destructive among ...

First phylogenetic analysis of Dryophthorinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) based on structural alignment of ribosomal DNA reveals Cenozoic diversification

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1984-1998, March 2021., 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

Scientific opinion on the import of Musa fruits as a pathway for the entry of non‐EU Tephritidae into the EU territory

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health examined evidence as to whether the import of fruits of Musa (bananas and plantains) could provide a pathway into the EU for Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) or other non‐EU Tephritidae for which Musa is a host.
