Insects, 2022 Capture strategies for the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), are challenging. Here we developed and evaluated a multimodal trap which combines visual and olfactory stimuli.

Aerial application of pheromones for mating disruption of an invasive moth as a potential eradication tool. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Biological invasions can cause major ecological and economic impacts. During the early stages of invasions, eradication is desirable but tactics are lacking that are both effective and have minimal non-target effects.

A simple sex pheromone cone trap.
Japanese journal of applied entomology and zoology, 1990 Effectiveness of a simple cone trap was examined in a wind tunnel and a field cage. The cone trap was more effective for capture of Acanthoplusia agnata and Autographa nigrisinga males than the water-pan trap.

A simple, cost-effective emitter for controlled release of fish pheromones: Development, testing, and application to management of the invasive sea lamprey. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Semiochemicals that elicit species-specific attraction or repulsion have proven useful in the management of terrestrial pests and hold considerable promise for control of nuisance aquatic species, particularly invasive fishes.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Effectiveness Of Pheromone Traps Against Tuta Absoluta
, 2016 In the Tunisian south, the heated greenhouses are an important axis of development of agriculture thanks to the big geothermal potential of this zone. Currently, this sector suffers from several phytosanitary problems. In the last years, a new insect, Tuta absoluta, threaten the cultures of cultivated tomatoes in heated greenhouses.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

EFFECTS OF SPACING AND TRAP NUMBER ON INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PEA MOTH PHEROMONE TRAPS
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1980 The effects of spacing and trap number on interactions between pheromone traps for the pea moth, Cydia nigricana, placed in lines along the wind were investigated. In pairs of traps, each containing 100μg (E,E)—8,10— dodecadien—1—yl acetate, an interaction was evident at spacings of 25–200 m, and the upwind trap usually caught more moths than the ...

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.
