Aerial application of pheromones for mating disruption of an invasive moth as a potential eradication tool. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Sex pheromone and visual trap interactions in mate location strategies and aggregation by host-alternating aphids in the field

open access: yes, 1996
Field observations were made on the responses of males and gynoparae of three host-alternating aphid species, the blackberry-cereal aphid, Sitobion fragariae (Walker), the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) and the damson-hop aphid, Phouodon ...

Effectiveness Of Pheromone Traps Against Tuta Absoluta

open access: yes, 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.

Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

EFFECTS OF SPACING AND TRAP NUMBER ON INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PEA MOTH PHEROMONE TRAPS

open access: yesEntomologia 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 ...

Hybrid Osprey‐Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Single and Multiobjective Optimal Power Flow in Smart Grids With Renewable Energy Integration

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The proposed hybrid osprey‐salp swarm optimization algorithm addresses optimal power flow (OPF) problems in smart grids incorporating solar, hydro, and thermal generators. The algorithm is validated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 30‐, 57‐, and 118‐bus test systems across five single and multiobjective OPF scenarios.

Pheromone‐trap monitoring system for sweet potato weevil (Coleoptera: Apionidae): Effects of pheromone source and purity

open access: yes, 1992
Studies were conducted to develop a pheromone‐trap monitoring system for the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius (Fabricius), in sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., fields in four states: Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas. The present
