Mechanical damage in cotton buds caused by the boll weevil
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2003 The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) causes high levels of bud abscission in cotton plants due to feeding or oviposition punctures. It has been reported that abscission is mainly due to enzymes present in the insect's saliva, but mechanical ...

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciFemale boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.

Population Genomics Approaches Identify a Cryptic, Emerging Generalist Pest Complex. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMolecular gut content analysis and RAD‐seq analysis revealed a peanut pest complex where previously only one species was considered problematic. Both species exhibited a wide, but somewhat distinct, variety of plants among their diets, and peanut‐feeding was rare. Diet generalism combined with a stepwise pattern of dispersal among fields might underlie
