Can mass trapping reduce thrips damage and is it economically viable? Management of the Western flower thrips in strawberry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous insect pest that causes bronzing to fruit of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa).

The Relationship between Structurally Different Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids and Western Flower Thrips Resistance in F2 Hybrids of Jacobaea vulgaros and Jacobaea aquatica [PDF]
, 2011 Segregating plant hybrids often have more ecological and molecular variability compared to parental species, and are therefore useful for studying relationships between different traits, and the adaptive significance of trait variation.

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
, 2010 To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...

Plant traits associated with resistance to Thrips tabaci in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) [PDF]
, 2008 Thrips tabaci is a major problem in the cultivation of cabbage for storage, as this pest causes symptoms that necessitate the removal of affected leaves from the product. Between cabbage varieties large differences in susceptibility occur.
