Herbivore prevalence poorly predicts yield in diverse cropping systems
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1229-1242, May 2025.Our study shows that the design and characteristics of cropping systems should be considered when assessing insect herbivory effects on crop yield. As herbivorous insects have a smaller impact on yield in diverse cropping systems, crop diversification may synergize biodiversity conservation and food production. Abstract Industrialized agriculture needs

Flea beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Halticinae) on rapeseed and sugarbeet in Finland
Agricultural and Food Science, 1986 Surveys of the incidence of flea beetles on sugarbeet and rapeseed were carried out in eight localities in southern and central Finland in 1972 and 1980—83.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 241-251, May 2025.Abstract Spring oilseed rape is severely affected by early season herbivory of various flea beetle species. Flea beetle pest management strategies with less reliance on conventional chemical insecticides are direly needed. However, the current knowledge of flea beetle ecologies and life cycles is insufficient to design and inform such strategies ...

BAS: Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm for Optimization Problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Meta-heuristic algorithms have become very popular because of powerful performance on the optimization problem. A new algorithm called beetle antennae search algorithm (BAS) is proposed in the paper inspired by the searching behavior of longhorn beetles.

Edible Jumpers Powered by Shell Snapping
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 8, April 17, 2025.This work demonstrates an entirely edible, centimeter‐scale jumper by instantly releasing elastic energy through shell snapping. It can jump up to 36 cm, comparable to previous non‐edible jumpers. Moreover, this jumper can be loaded with an edible latch to trigger the jumping upon humidity stimulus autonomously.

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Ex Ante Economic Impact Analysis of Novel Traits in Canola
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2013 This study evaluates the potential economic impacts of ten novel traits in canola by employing a stochastic economic surplus model. Nitrogen use efficiency, water use efficiency, flea-beetle resistance, cold/freeze tolerance, and drought tolerance traits
