Esterase-3 polymorphism in the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2002
The migration rate of esterases and their substrate specificity for 4-methylumbelliferyl esters (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) and alpha- and beta-naphthyl esters were analyzed in Diatraea saccharalis by starch gel electrophoresis.

Larval antibiosis to cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is absent within oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

Fitness costs associated with Vip3Aa resistance on various hosts in Helicoverpa zea

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Significant fitness costs associated with Vip3Aa resistance in H. zea were observed across three non‐Bt hosts. Abundant non‐Bt refuges could help limit the spread of Vip3Aa resistance in H. zea in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenic crops containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins are crucial for managing major agricultural pests such as the

A comparison of manual and automatic moth sampling methods (Lepidoptera : Arctiidae, Geometridae) in a rain forest in Costa Rica

open access: yes, 2006
Sampling with UV fluorescent light tubes is a commonly used technique both in applied and basic insect studies. Our study compares the performance of two such methods: manual sampling (light towers) and automatic sampling (funnel light traps).

Efficient Moth-Flame-Based Neuroevolution Models

open access: yes, 2019
This chapter proposes a new efficient moth-flame-embedded multilayer perceptrons (MLP) neuroevolution model to deal with classification problems. Moth-flame optimizer (MFO) is one of the effective swarm-based metaheuristic methods inspired by the natural

Leaf penetration by endophytic Metarhizium brunneum enables infection of Phthorimaea absoluta in tomato mines while inducing the crop defense system

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spraying Metarhizium brunneum on tomato plants controls heterogeneous and upcoming Phthorimaea absoluta populations by infecting larvae within mines and priming plant induced systemic defences. Abstract BACKGROUND The endophytic entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum Petch EAMa 01/58‐Su shows strong potential for managing Phthorimaea absoluta, a ...
