Flea Beetle Control in Canola, 1994 [PDF]
Arthropod Management Tests, 1995 Abstract Plots were planted 9 May on the Washington State University campus, Pullman, WA, with a small plot drill at a seeding rate of 6 lb/acre in 7 rows 6 inches apart. Plots were 4 × 20 ft, replicated 4 times in a RCBD. Three rates of Gaucho were applied as a seed treatment. Eight insecticides were applied on 25 May with a CO2-powered

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Diversifying the crop volatile organic compound profile can alter pest orientation: flea beetles were less attracted to chemical cues of the cabbage–faba bean mix than to those from cabbage alone, while diamondback moths remained equally attracted to both cues.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3055-3065, June 2025.Silencing Prosbeta‐5 and Prosbeta‐1 resulted in high mortality in Tetranychus urticae, identifying them as potential target genes for double‐stranded RNA‐based biopesticides using spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS). Abstract BACKGROUND Because of the excessive use of synthetic chemicals, the two‐spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, a highly ...

Tiny Killers: First Record of Rhabdocoel Flatworms Feeding on Water Flea Embryos
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.The flatworm Strongylostoma simplex simplex, a rhabdocoel microturbellarian, was observed preying on Daphnia water flea embryos in small water bodies in urban Berlin. An experiment confirmed that flatworm exposure drastically reduced Daphnia survival and reproduction, highlighting a strong predation pressure. This novel interaction may have significant

Beetle Swarm Optimization Algorithm:Theory and Application [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper, a new meta-heuristic algorithm, called beetle swarm optimization algorithm, is proposed by enhancing the performance of swarm optimization through beetle foraging principles. The performance of 23 benchmark functions is tested and compared with widely used algorithms, including particle swarm optimization algorithm, genetic algorithm (GA)

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2535-2552, May 2025.Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

Golden Tortoise Beetle Optimizer: A Novel Nature-Inspired Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Engineering Problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm called the Golden Tortoise Beetle Optimizer (GTBO) to solve optimization problems. It mimics golden tortoise beetle's behavior of changing colors to attract opposite sex for mating and its protective strategy that uses a kind of anal fork to deter predators.
