Sublethal Effects of Diamide Insecticides on Development and Flight Performance of Chloridea virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Implications for Bt Soybean Refuge Area Management

Insects, 2020
High-dose and refuge are the most important strategies for delaying resistance evolution in Bt crops. Insecticide sprays in refuge areas could be necessary and may limit refuge effectiveness.

Females invest more energy in flight: flight characteristics of Platypus quercivorus (Murayama) revealed by a flight mill

Journal of Forest Research, 2021
Dispersal flight is an essential component of the life history of bark and ambrosia beetles. Previous studies have shown considerable variation in flight distance between individual beetles; however, different factors drive this variation between species.

The redder the better: wing color predicts flight performance in monarch butterflies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The distinctive orange and black wings of monarchs (Danaus plexippus) have long been known to advertise their bitter taste and toxicity to potential predators.

Flight performance of pollen starved honey bees and incomplete compensation through ingestion after early life pollen deprivation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
We investigated the effect of adult honey bee pollen nutrition on the flight performance of honey bees. Therefore, caged bees were allowed to perform 30 min of defecation/training flights every second day before flight performance of pollen-fed bees and ...

Nondestructive Tertiary Mill‐Scale Thickness Measurement on Commercial Hot‐Rolled Steel Strip: Terahertz Time‐of‐Flight Tomography

, 2023
International audienceTerahertz time-of-flight tomography is shown to enable the nondestructive and noncontact measurement of tertiary mill-scale thickness L down to ~ 10 microns on production hot-rolled steel, building on our recent work on thickness ...

Pesticide exposure affects flight dynamics and reduces flight endurance in bumblebees

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The emergence of agricultural land use change creates a number of challenges that insect pollinators, such as eusocial bees, must overcome. Resultant fragmentation and loss of suitable foraging habitats, combined with pesticide exposure, may increase ...

Infection of an Insect Vector with a Bacterial Plant Pathogen Increases Its Propensity for Dispersal. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The spread of vector-transmitted pathogens relies on complex interactions between host, vector and pathogen. In sessile plant pathosystems, the spread of a pathogen highly depends on the movement and mobility of the vector.

Green Manure Crops as Food Source: Impact on the Performance of the Migratory Beet Webworm, Loxostege sticticalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Insects, 2023
The application of green manure is crucial for achieving sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry, but pest management is often overlooked. Conducting a risk assessment for insect pests in green manure is essential.

Quantifying interspecific variation in dispersal ability of noctuid moths using an advanced tethered flight technique [PDF]

, 2016
Dispersal plays a crucial role in many aspects of species' life histories, yet is often difficult to measure directly. This is particularly true for many insects, especially nocturnal species (e.g.
