Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

Robotics for Crop Pollination: Recent Advances and Future Direction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is great interest in alternative pollination strategies for crop production in the face of climate change and perennial threats to the traditional pollination mechanisms. This review explores the potential of robotic pollination as a promising solution to these challenges affecting crop fertilization, agricultural sustainability, and ...

Ocular Albinism Type 1 Regulates Deltamethrin Tolerance in Lymantria dispar and Drosophila melanogaster

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The ocular albinism type 1 (OA1), a pigment cell-specific integral membrane glycoprotein, is a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily that binds to heterotrimeric G proteins in mammalian cells.

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

(moth) in relay

In 1947, scientists working on the Harvard Mark II computer found a moth trapped in the relay circuits of the machine, impeding its function. They taped the dead moth into the computer’s logbook and wrote: “(moth) in relay ...

Floral richness shapes plant-pollinator networks in urban agroecosystems

Basic and Applied Ecology
Species richness, a fundamental driver of agroecosystem function, is shaped by habitat management and landscape surroundings. Yet, delivery of ecosystem services, like pollination, in agroecosystems is dependent on ecological interactions, not just ...

Mating disruption with low density diffusers for the management of oriental fruit moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in apple orchards under subtropical climate in southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2013
The oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta Busck, and fruit flies, Anastrepha fraterculus L., are the important apple pests under Subtropical climate in Southern Brazil, and control is normally accomplished with insecticides. An alternative strategy for
