Proteomic analysis of Daphnia magna hints at molecular pathways involved in defensive plastic responses [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Phenotypic plasticity in defensive traits occurs in many species when facing heterogeneous predator regimes. The waterflea Daphnia is well-known for showing a variety of these so called inducible defences.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius L.) Population Composition as Determined by Baited Traps
Insects, 2012 Two established field populations of bed bugs were sampled using host-mimicking traps baited with a combination of CO2, heat and a synthetic kairomone. The proportion of first instar nymphs (between 52% and 78% of all captured insects) was significantly ...

Le potentiel de l’écologie chimique dans la lutte contre les insectes nuisibles [PDF]
, 1993 En nature, plusieurs organismes vivants émettent des substances chimiques médiatrices (infochimiques) lorsqu'ils créent des liens complexes et variés entre les individus de la même espèce ou d'espèces différentes. Dans cet article, nous décrivons comment

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.

Refuge by day, forage by night: Diel activity of vine weevil as characterised by smart monitoring
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Vine weevil activity was monitored using a Smart trap, which recorded diel refuge‐seeking behaviour. Increasing light intensity triggered refuge seeking behaviour, while lower light intensity induced forage seeking activity. Understanding vine weevil diel activity can enhance early detection, which can improve the effectiveness of integrated pest ...
