COSMOS, a spatially explicit model to simulate the epidemiology of Cosmopolites sordidus in banana fields [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 2009 A stochastic individual-based model called COSMOS was developed to simulate the epidemiology of banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a major pest of banana fields. The model is based on simple rules of local movement of adults, egg laying of females, development and mortality, and infestation of larvae inside the banana plants.

Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.The banana crops showed a core microbiome of 77 ASV, mostly belonging to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli. Specific groups of bacteria and fungi were linked to each nematode species or feeding group, with a core microbiome of correlated taxa found only when considering nematodes by feeding groups.

The mating behaviour of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera : Curculionidae) [PDF]
Scientific Research and Essays, 2015 The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar mates repeatedly in its lifetime. No elaborate courtship behavior was seen before mating in the laboratory. However, ‘sniffing’ (an activity by which male weevils used their antennae to contact the abdominal tip of the female, as if to perceive some stimulus), often preceded mating.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 161-176, March 2025.The unregulated trade of terrestrial isopods is a current and significant new threat that leads to the local extinctions of endemic species. Genetic contamination and the introduction and spread of alien species are other secondary threats that could affect native woodlouse populations.
