The First Mitochondrial Genomes of the Family Haplodiplatyidae (Insecta: Dermaptera) Reveal Intraspecific Variation and Extensive Gene Rearrangement

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Haplodiplatyidae is a recently established earwig family with over 40 species representing a single genus, Haplodiplatys Hincks, 1955. The morphology of Haplodiplatyidae has been studied in detail, but its molecular characters remain unclear.

Robotic agricultural instrument for automated extraction of nematode cysts and eggs from soil to improve integrated pest management [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports 2021, 2022
Soybeans are an important crop for global food security. Every year, soybean yields are reduced by numerous soybean diseases, particularly the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). It is difficult to visually identify the presence of SCN in the field, let alone its population densities or numbers, as there are no obvious aboveground disease symptoms.

Pest control using farming awareness: impact of time delays and optimal use of biopesticides [PDF]

open access: yesChaos Solitons Fractals 146 (2021), Art. 110869, 11 pp, 2021
We investigate a mathematical model in crop pest management, considering plant biomass, pest, and the effect of farming awareness. The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pest and infected pest. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of healthy pests present in the crop field ...

Drivers of farmers’ intention to adopt integrated pest management: a case study of vegetable farmers in Pakistan

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Integrated pest management adoption is quite low around the globe, particularly in developing countries, due to different factors. Here, we examine the factors affecting the intention of Pakistani farmers to adopt integrated pest management practices in ...

The Price of the Induced Defense Against Pests: A Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Plants and phytophagous arthropods have co-evolved for millions of years. During this long coexistence, plants have developed defense mechanisms including constitutive and inducible defenses. In an effort to survive upon herbivore attack, plants suffer a resource reallocation to facilitate the prioritization of defense toward growth.

Mathematical model for pest-insect control using mating disruption and trapping [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Mathematical Modelling 52 (2017), 437-457, 2016
Controlling pest insects is a challenge of main importance to preserve crop production. In the context of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, we develop a generic model to study the impact of mating disruption control using an artificial female pheromone to confuse males and adversely affect their mating opportunities.
