Optimal irradiation parameters for the development of the sterile insect technique in the seedcorn maggot Delia platura (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
X‐ray irradiation of Delia platura pupae showed that 20 Gy induces high sterility while maintaining male quality and competitiveness, establishing optimal parameters for sterile insect technique implementation in North America. Abstract BACKGROUND The seedcorn maggot, Delia platura Meigen (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is a sporadic but economically ...

The effects of flooding on survivorship in overwintering larvae of the large copper butterfly Lycaena dispar batavus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), and its possible implications for restoration management

European Journal of Entomology, 2003
Previous work suggests that submergence of Lycaena dispar larvae during overwintering may play a significant role in this butterfly's population dynamics. Since potential re-introduction sites in eastern England are prone to regular seasonal flooding, we

Domestic composters as winter reservoirs for the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in temperate climates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation and transcriptional changes associated with overwintering memory in Brassica rapa L. grown in the field

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background Winter rapeseed, the sole overwintering oilseed crop in northern China, emphasizes winter resilience, yet epigenetic regulatory mechanisms governing overwintering memory remain poorly understood.

Absence of West Nile and Usutu Virus Persistence in Overwintering Mosquitoes in Northeastern France: Insights from Cold-Season Surveillance

Viruses
Emerging arboviruses of the Orthoflavivirus genus such as West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV), primarily transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, pose significant public health threats due to their ability to cause severe neurological diseases in humans

Comparison of nonchemical, organic and synthetic Varroa destructor control strategies in honey bee colonies: effects on parasite load, colony strength and health

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining intensive drone‐brood removal with brood interruption provided the most effective and consistent seasonal Varroa control. Abstract BACKGROUND Varroa destructor remains the most significant biotic threat to honey bee colonies, and increasing resistance to synthetic acaricides necessitates alternative control strategies.

Short-term effects of overwintering on porosity of the compacted topsoil due to harvest traffic in Northeast China [PDF]

The multi-hydrothermal processes in agricultural soils during overwintering modify compacted soil structure in cold winter regions. The depth-dependent changes in the topsoil pore-network within field-based compacted zones caused by harvest traffic ...

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.

Effect of Abscisic Acid (ABA) Combined with Two Different Beekeeping Nutritional Strategies to Confront Overwintering: Studies on Honey Bees’ Population Dynamics and Nosemosis

Insects, 2019
In temperate climates, beekeeping operations suffer colony losses and colony depopulation of Apis mellifera during overwintering, which are associated with biotic and abiotic stressors that impact bees’ health.
