This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Effect of Surfactants on Beet Armyworm and Fall Armyworm Larvae, 1994 [PDF]
Abstract Six commercially-available surfactants/ wetting agents were compared to determine their toxic effects on beet armyworm and fall armyworm larvae. Larvae used in this study were obtained from the USDA-ARS Insect Biology and Population Management Research Lab in Tifton, GA, and were 4-days-old on the day of treatment.

Time‐Course of Attainment and Reversal of Thermal Acclimation in the Invasive Fall Armyworm
Heat acclimation was elicited within minutes with stronger responses at higher temperatures while cold acclimation provided no measurable plastic benefit in the invasive fall armyworm. Prolonged high‐temperature acclimation enhanced heat tolerance and delayed reversal of physiological gains while reversal of acclimation was temperature‐dependent ...

Assessing Predator Activity on Clay Models in Response to Common Insecticides in Turfgrass
Insecticides exhibited clear but time‐dependent effects on predatory activity, as reflected by impression types and density on clay models in turfgrass. Certain insecticides (bifenthrin, and in some cases acephate + imidacloprid, imidacloprid, chlorantraniliprole, and tetraniliprole) reduced total impressions shortly after application and again later ...

Prospecting of popcorn hybrids for resistance to fall armyworm
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is the pest that causes the greatest economic losses for both common corn and popcorn crops, and the use of resistant plant genotypes is an important tool for integrated pest management. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the damage caused by S.
