Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Pest and disease management: why we shouldn't go against the grain.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Given the wide range of scales and mechanisms by which pest or disease agents disperse, it is unclear whether there might exist a general relationship between scale of host heterogeneity and spatial spread that could be exploited by available management ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Modeling the Climate-Driven Spread of Pine Wilt Disease for Forest Pest Risk Assessment and Management Using MaxEnt

Forests
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the invasive nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, poses a growing threat to East Asian coniferous forests, which is further exacerbated by climate change. While studies have successfully applied Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) models to map the potential spread of PWD, they have primarily focused on broad spatial scales and ...

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Entomopathogenic fungi and chemical insecticides have synergistic action against adult large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis

Biological Control
The large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis, is a serious pest of reforestation across much of northern Europe. Larvae develop in the stumps and roots of recently felled conifers, and adults feed on the bark of young trees used to replant the site ...

Semiochemicals in the Natural History of Southern Pine Beetle Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann and Their Role in Pest Management

, 2016
Abstract The southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann is generally considered to be one of the most significant biotic mortality agents of pines within North America, with a range stretching from New England to eastern Texas and from Arizona south to Nicaragua.

Whole Genome Assembly and Annotation of Two Invasive Sitona Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weevils are a highly diversified taxon, comprising about 70,000 described species, including many of high economic importance. Here, we present whole genome assemblies and annotations of two Sitona species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae).

A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Reimagining Perinatal Care in Alabama Through Innovative Partnerships

Journal of Midwifery &Women's Health, EarlyView.
Abstract Childbearing families in the United States, especially in rural communities, face inconsistent access to high‐quality maternity care, with many experiencing sparse and fragmented services. In response to long‐standing disparities in Alabama, we created the Women and Children Health Initiative (WACHI), a coordinated hub that advances midwifery ...
