Travel Disruption: Three Case Studies [PDF]
This report draws together the findings of three studies of travel disruption and its impacts on travellers: the volcanic ash cloud which disrupted aviation in Europe in 2010, the loss of road bridges between November 2009 and April 2010 at Workington ...

Pheromone Deployment Strategies for Mating Disruption of a Vineyard Mealybug. [PDF]
J Econ Entomol, 2021 Abstract The mealybug, Planococcus ficus (Signoret), is a primary vineyard pest in California and other grape-growing regions throughout the World. Mating disruption programs are commercially available to manage Pl. ficus, but widespread adoption has been limited, in part, by high costs compared with insecticide programs.

Fighting over defence chemicals disrupts mating behaviour [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2021 Abstract Studies on intraspecific contest behaviour predominantly focus on contests between individuals of the same sex, however contest behaviour is also expected to occur between individuals of the opposite sex including possible mates.

Female delayed mating and shortened pairing duration reduce the reproductive performance of tea mosquito bugs ( Helopeltis bradyi) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2023 Tea mosquito bugs (TMB; Helopeltis bradyi, Hemiptera, Miridae) are a main pest in tea and cacao plantations worldwide. Pheromone-mediated mating disruption (MD) is a promising strategy to manage TMB populations. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the

Exploitation of insect vibrational signals reveals a new method of pest management. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Food production is considered to be the main source of human impact on the environment and the concerns about detrimental effects of pesticides on biodiversity and human health are likely to lead to an increasingly restricted use of chemicals in ...

Disruptive ecological selection on a mating cue [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 Adaptation to divergent ecological niches can result in speciation. Traits subject to disruptive selection that also contribute to non-random mating will facilitate speciation with gene flow. Such ‘magic’ or ‘multiple-effect’ traits may be widespread and important for generating biodiversity, but strong empirical evidence is still lacking.

The evolutionary consequences of disrupted male mating signals: an agent-based modelling exploration of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the guppy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Females may select a mate based on signalling traits that are believed to accurately correlate with heritable aspects of male quality. Anthropogenic actions, in particular chemicals released into the environment, are now disrupting the accuracy of mating

San Jose scale mating disruption in apples [PDF]
, 2022 Recently San Jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comstock) has reemerged as a critical pest within Michigan apple orchards. San Jose scale is an excellent candidate for the development of pheromone-mediated mating disruption as an alternative ...
