Potential Distribution Predicted for Rhynchophorus ferrugineus in China under Different Climate Warming Scenarios. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
As the primary pest of palm trees, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) has caused serious harm to palms since it first invaded China. The present study used CLIMEX 1.1 to predict the potential distribution of R. ferrugineus in

Analytical Review on Improving Coconut Production and Management Practices in Fiji

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Coconuts are popularly regarded as the “Tree of Heaven” because of its multitude of uses from food, medicine, cosmetics, fuel, drink, oil, timber, domestic utensils, and cultural significance. Secondary data (published literature and FAOSTAT database) and firsthand data (limited to Fiji Islands) from an exploratory study by Lata et al., 2024, were used

Effectiveness of canine‐assisted surveillance and human searches for early detection of invasive spotted lanternfly

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Prevention and early detection of invasive species are championed as the most cost‐effective and efficient strategies for reducing or preventing negative impacts on ecosystems. Spotted lanternfly (SLF), Lycorma delicatula, is a recently introduced invasive insect whose range in the United States has been expanding rapidly since it was first ...

From buzzes to bytes: A systematic review of automated bioacoustics models used to detect, classify and monitor insects

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1199-1211, June 2024.
Automated bioacoustics methods can be a useful tool for monitoring insects and addressing pressing ecological and societal questions. Successful applications include assessing insect biodiversity, distribution and behaviour, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of restoration and pest control efforts. We recommend collaborations among ecologists and

Assessing the sterility and quality of gamma‐irradiated pepper weevils, Anthonomus eugenii (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), toward the development of the sterile insect technique

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 1692-1701, April 2024.
Pepper weevil were treated with gamma radiation at the pupal stage to investigate its impact on reproduction and quality. Male and female pepper weevils irradiated with 110 Gy as late‐stage pupae were effectively sterilized and also had decreased fecundity, longevity and spontaneous flight activity.

Enhancement of Palm residues (Phoenix canariensis) for a potential use in ruminant feed

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2013
The increase of biological residues from numerous fellings of palms (Phoenix canariensis) infested by red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier) in central Italy and around the Mediterranean basin, has created an important disposal problem. This

Biological control of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

, 2013
The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most destructive pests of palms in the world. To date, the control of this pest has been mainly based on the use of insecticides. However, this control method can result in environmental, social and economic problems. To improve management options
