Efficacies and Second-Year Effects of SPLAT GM™ and SPLAT GM™ Organic Formulations
Mating disruption is the primary control tactic used against the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) under the gypsy moth Slow the Spread (STS) program.

Contrasting effects of invasive insects and fire on ecosystem water use efficiency [PDF]
We used eddy covariance and meteorological measurements to estimate net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE), gross ecosystem production (GEP), evapotranspiration (Et), and ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEe; calculated as GEP / Et during dry canopy ...

Effect of host plant on gypsy moth diet and biological efficacy of Btk preparations [PDF]
The effect of two host plants, Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L) and black poplar (Populus nigra L) on gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L) development was researched.

Underestimated mitochondrial diversity in gypsy moth Lymantria dispar from Asia
The gypsy moth Lymantria dispar (L.) (Erebidae) is one of the most important agricultural and forest insect pests. It currently includes three subspecies: Lymantria dispar dispar (L.), Lymantria dispar asiatica Vnukovskij and Lymantria dispar japonica ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Phylloplane Sterilization With Bleach Does Not Reduce Btk Toxicity for \u3ci\u3ePapilio Glaucus\u3c/i\u3e Larvae (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) [PDF]
Neonate tiger swallowtail larvae (Papilio glaucus) were used to bioassay the effects of Btk (Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki) at 4 doses (0.268, 0.034, 0.008, and 0.004 BIU per cm leaf surface) with an untreated control.

Two orders of wall‐to‐wall geographic data
Short Abstract The use of the term ‘wall‐to‐wall’ to describe geographically extensive data without any singular definition in the remote sensing and geographically related analysis. This work presents an assessment of the application of the term in the scientific literature. Abstract From personal observations of recent published works, the term “wall‐

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Abstract We present the first reference genome of the highly heterozygous autotetraploid Allium porrum (leek). Combining long‐read sequencing with single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐array screening of two experimental F1 populations, we generated a genetic map with 11,429 SNP markers across eight linkage groups and a chromosome‐scale assembly of A ...
