Evaluation of Alternate Insecticides for the Management of Rhinoceros Beetle,(Oryctes rhinoceros L.) in Coconut Ecosystems

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2017
Young coconut palms in the age group of one to six years are frequently succumbed to attack in the crown region especially the spear leaf due to rhinoceros beetles. Damage by the beetle results in ‘V’ shaped cuts in the leaf lamina and repeated attacks by the pest results in reduced leaf area for photosynthesis.

EFFICACY OF ECOFRIENDLY MANAGEMENT AGAINST RHINOCEROS BEETLE GRUBS IN COCONUT

Journal of Biopesticides, 2013
ABSTRACT The Rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros (L) is an important pest reported from all the coconut growing countries of the world. Application of chemical pesticides is expensive and may cause environmental pollution. Therefore an on farm trial was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Palakkad, Kerala, India in an area of one hectare, in ...

Cessation of Gene Flow Associated With the Reduction of a Sexually Selected Phenotype in the Island Stag Beetle

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Whether gene flow acts as a creative or constraining force on local adaptation is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology, yet its role in the evolution of sexually selected traits remains poorly understood. Here we combine whole‐genome and functional analyses to investigate how geological isolation is associated with the evolution of ...

Characterization of a Core Fungal Community and Captivity‐Induced Gut “Mycobiome” Change in Fowler's Toad (Anaxyrus fowleri)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Amphibians like Fowler's Toad are vital to ecosystems but face population declines, prompting conservation efforts through captive breeding programs. This study examined how captivity and diet influence the fungal gut microbiome (mycobiome) in wild‐caught toads using metabarcoding.
