Meteorological versus spatial drivers of the spatial synchrony of forest insect pest outbreaks in North America

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Life History, Damage, and Gall Development of the Gall Midge, \u3ci\u3eNeolasioptera Brevis\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), Injurious to Honeylocust in Michigan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Neolasioptera brevis is univoltine in Michigan. Adults issue in late spring, and females deposit eggs in rows on the lower side of young shoots of honeylocust. Larval eclosion occurs shortly after: there are three larval instars.

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Using a Standardized Protocol to Assess Female Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), Mating Status Under Mating Disruption Technologies

open access: yesInsects
Implementing mating disruption (MD) programs to manage codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L.), should be based on knowledge of how effectively each program disrupts female mating.

Residual Efficacy of Lufenuron (Instar®), 1994 [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 1995
Abstract Residual effect of a new chitin synthesis inhibitor, lufenuron (Instar® 0.2 TB) was determined against three different nymphal ages of German cockroach (1-week, 3-week and 5-week) and American cockroach (1-week, 5-week and 10-week).

Jumping plant-lice of the Paurocephalinae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Psylloidea): systematics and phylogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Much confusion exists with respect to the content and definition of the psyUid subfamily Paurocephalinae. Based on a cladistic analysis of 22 morphological characters (16 adult and 6 larval), the subfamily is redefined to comprise the following five ...

Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was
