Larval spongy moth transcriptomic response to ingestion of broad-versus narrow-spectrum insecticidal Chromobacterium species [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The PRAA4-1T strain of Chromobacterium subtsugae was the first insecticidal bacterium to be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in crop protection applications since approval for Bacillus thuringiensis was granted in 1961.

Genomics-based assessment of the geographic origin of spongy moths (Lymantria dispar) intercepted during vessel inspections, using SpongySeq, an amplicon sequencing panel [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major threat to native biodiversity, ecosystems services, economic stability and human well-being. The two spongy moths, Lymantria dispar asiatica and L.

Identification of potential insect ecological interactions using a metabarcoding approach [PDF]

PeerJ
Species interactions are challenging to quantify, particularly when they happen cryptically. Molecular methods have become a key tool to uncover these interactions when they leave behind a DNA trace from the interacting organism (e.g., pollen on a bee ...
