From knowledge to action: the importance of characterizing herbicide resistance mechanisms for implementing management strategies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This review bridges the gap between understanding resistance mechanisms and applying them in weed management, highlighting how mechanistic insights reveal vulnerabilities that can guide more effective control strategies. Abstract Herbicide resistance remains one of the most intensively studied areas in weed science because of its direct consequences ...

Resistance to S-Methoprene Correlates with Pyriproxyfen Resistance in Field-Collected Culex pipiens

Insects
The increasing prevalence of insecticide resistance threatens the efficacy of Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) programs, particularly in regions reliant on chemical control for vector-borne disease prevention.

Acid Sulfate Soils in Intertidal Mosquito Breeding Habitats and Implications for Habitat Modification

, 1999
Public concern about the use of chemicals for mosquito control in coastal Australia has lead to the development of physical habitat modification methods that aim to reduce mosquito populations to acceptable levels.

Laboratory, simulated‐use, and field evaluation of non‐insecticidal consumer products for indoor pest management: a freeze‐spray aerosol, light traps, and an ‘insect repellent’ lamp

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Control efficacy of three types of non‐insecticidal consumer products were examined in laboratory, simulated‐use, and field conditions. Freeze spray and ‘repellent lamp’ showed limited efficacy, whereas various results in attraction in light trap were reported.

Effect of Cup Material on S-Methoprene Bioavailability and Susceptibility Estimates in Larval Mosquito Bioassays

Pathogens
Mosquito control programs rely on larvicides such as S-methoprene to suppress vector populations and prevent mosquito-borne diseases including West Nile virus (WNV).

Innovation in pest management: can the past inform the future?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Progress in pest management occurred incrementally, but occasionally, transformative discoveries introduced disruptive technologies. Looking ahead, generative artificial intelligence is expected to accelerate agricultural discovery by integrating vast datasets from mechanization, genetics, and chemistry.

Reduced fitness cost accounts for the stability of a malathion‐resistant heterogeneous duplication haplotype in Ceratitis capitata field populations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Malathion resistance in Spanish field populations of Ceratitis capitata is associated with a point mutation (R allele) and a heterogeneous duplication (RS haplotype) of the Ccace2 gene. The R allele imposes a higher fitness cost than the RS haplotype under laboratory and field conditions. An evolutionary model supports the stability of the RS haplotype

Extreme resistance to S-methoprene in field-collected Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) across the Chicago, IL region

Scientific Reports
Insect growth regulators, like S-methoprene, are heavily relied upon worldwide for larval mosquito chemical control due to their target specificity and long-lasting effects.
