New sanitation techniques for controlling tephritid fruit flies (Diptera: tephritidae) in Hawaii
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2005 New approaches to sanitation in a cropping system susceptible to tephritid fruit flies (Diptera tephritidae) in Hawaii have been investigated. Six trials were conducted in tent-like structures to demonstrate that melon fly larvae (Bacrocera cucurbitae ...

Interaction between workers during a short time window is required for bacterial symbiont transmission in Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Stable associations between partners over time are critical for the evolution of mutualism. Hosts employ a variety of mechanisms to maintain specificity with bacterial associates.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche
Insect Science, EarlyView.Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Four‐year field monitoring and laboratory studies revealed M. dirhodum occurs regularly in barley with high reproductive potential and extended adult longevity. Populations peaked during vulnerable crop stages, creating optimal conditions for BYDV transmission during critical infection windows. M.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cinetorhynchus occur mainly in shallow waters of temperate to tropical regions. Among the 28 species of Rhynchocinetidae, there are only six with larval morphology known and the description of the larva of Cinetorhynchus rigens is succinct. Thus, we redescribe the zoea I of C.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.
