Compatibility of Glyphosate with Galerucella calmariensis; a Biological Control Agent for Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
By integrating Galerucella calmariensis with glyphosate there is potential to achieve both immediate and sustained control of purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria).

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Development of a dynamic population model as a decision support system for Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella L) management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In 2004 RIMpro-Cydia was developed as a dynamic population model that simulates the within-year biology of a local codling moth population. The model is meant to be used by growers and advisors to optimize the control of codling moth populations in ...

Disentangling biotic and abiotic factors influencing host–parasitoid interactions of butterflies, tachinid flies, and nematodes

open access: yesEcological Research, EarlyView.
The defensive function of mutualistic ants for the Reverdin's Blue butterfly against two groups of parasitoids (tachinid flies and mermithid nematodes) differs among ant species, and this is affected by the number of precipitation days in the larval period of the butterfly.

Optimal adult growth of Daphnia in a seasonal environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
1. The cladoceran Daphnia serves as an example of an iteroparous organism, with overlapping generations, that is capable of substantial adult growth. The life history of Daphnia was modelled as the consequence of a series of decisions about allocation of

Locust Instar Classification Using Deep Learning

open access: yes, 2020
Across the world widespread crop devastation is caused by locusts, contributing to billions of dollars worth of lost food every year. Locusts are difficult to counteract, with major obstacles occurring when trying to track their migration. Work has been done to develop methods of locust tracking using traditional forecasting methods and expertise from ...

Microinjection‐enabled gene silencing in first instar larvae of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, reveals vital genes for larval survival

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a microinjection technique to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips (L1s) via the foreleg coxa, enhancing survival rates by minimizing internal tissue damage. Significant knockdown of V‐ATPase‐B, CYP3653A2, and ApoLp‐II/I was achieved, with silencing of CYP3653A2 or ApoLp‐II/I increasing larval mortality ...
