Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

Naïve ants reach a food source quicker when encountering returning ants

Scientific Reports
Pheromone guidance of ant foraging activity is well described, but less is known about how the presence of inward ant traffic on the trail affects the behavior of naive nestmates and if these influences are dependent or independent of pheromone signaling.

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

Pest 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 ...

Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

Sex-specific processing of social cues in the medial amygdala

eLife, 2014
Animal–animal recognition within, and across species, is essential for predator avoidance and social interactions. Despite its essential role in orchestrating responses to animal cues, basic principles of information processing by the vomeronasal system ...

Significant resource niche overlap between competing parasitoids does not prevent their successful co‐existence

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Different species that exploit the same resources can sometimes co‐exist in the same habitat through resource sharing. For example, if resources are superabundant, then they can be easily partitioned interspecifically among different individuals. However, when resources
