A common genetic target for environmental and heritable influences on aggressiveness in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2008
Environmental and genetic factors can modulate aggressiveness, but the biological mechanisms underlying their influence are largely unknown. Social experience with conspecifics suppresses aggressiveness in both vertebrate and invertebrate species ...

Phenology of the Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in the UK and provision of decision support for brassica growers [PDF]

, 2020
In the UK, severe infestations by Plutella xylostella occur sporadically and are due mainly to the immigration of moths. The aim of this study was to develop a more detailed understanding of the phenology of P.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Different combinations of pheromone trap, dispenser and chemical treatments for controlling the mango fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata Saunders (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

Journal of Advances in Plant Protection
Using pheromone traps is one of the standard methods to control the mango fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae). The lower efficiency of traps has made it inevitable to consider more efficient methods of controlling this pest ...
