Laboratory-scale hermetic storage of wheat and maize against the infestation of red flour beetle (Tribalism castaneum) and maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) [PDF]
The objective of this project was to determine the effect of hermetic storage conditions on red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) and maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais), and to hopefully reduce infestation during storage. This project used 4 oz.

SCB has a robust RNAi response to injected dsRNA, but oral RNAi is less efficient. Nucleases do not appear to be responsible for the discrepancy, suggesting other factors are involved. Abstract BACKGROUND The striped cucumber beetle (SCB) is a serious pest of cucurbit crops, causing damage both by feeding on plants and by vectoring plant diseases ...

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.
