The mating behaviour of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera : Curculionidae) [PDF]

open access: yesScientific 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.

Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.
