Oviposition Decisions by Indianmeal Moth [PDF]
The Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella,is a pest in the United States of stored grains. The larvae feed on grains, grain products, dried fruits, nuts, cereals and a variety of processed food products.

The Genetic Basis of Pheromone Evolution in Moths.
Moth sexual pheromones are widely studied as a fine-tuned system of intraspecific sexual communication that reinforces interspecific reproductive isolation.

This paper describes the basis for AInsectID Version 1, a GUI‐operable open‐source insect species identification, color processing, and image analysis software. This paper discusses our methods of algorithmic development, coupled to rigorous machine training used to enable high levels of validation accuracy.

Advances and Challenges of Using the Sterile Insect Technique for the Management of Pest Lepidoptera
Over the past 30 years, the sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a regular component of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programs against several major agricultural pests and vectors of severe diseases.

Competition between BCS-pairing and "moth-eaten effect" in BEC-BCS crossover [PDF]
We study the change in condensation energy from a single pair of fermionic atoms to a large number of pairs interacting via the reduced BCS potential. We find that the energy-saving due to correlations decreases when the pair number increases because the number of empty states available for pairing gets smaller ("moth-eaten effect").

Delineating Species with DNA Barcodes: A Case of Taxon Dependent Method Performance in Moths
The accelerating loss of biodiversity has created a need for more effective ways to discover species. Novel algorithmic approaches for analyzing sequence data combined with rapidly expanding DNA barcode libraries provide a potential solution.

Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...

Evolving Deep Neural Network by Customized Moth Flame Optimization Algorithm for Underwater Targets Recognition [PDF]
This chapter proposes using the Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm for finetuning a Deep Neural Network to recognize different underwater sonar datasets. Same as other models evolved by metaheuristic algorithms, premature convergence, trapping in local minima, and failure to converge in a reasonable time are three defects MFO confronts in solving ...
