An insect pheromone primes tolerance of herbivory in goldenrod plants
Abstract Environmental cues that predict increased risk of herbivory can prime plant defenses; however, few studies have explored how such cues elicit broader plant responses, including potential effects on plant growth and other resource allocations that may affect tolerance to herbivore damage.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) delivered in a fly‐attractive aqueous yeast hydrolysate solution cause high levels of mortality in Queensland fruit fly. Infected flies can still fly and thereby disperse EPNs before the flies succumb to infection. Abstract BACKGROUND Many studies have demonstrated that tephritid fruit fly larvae are highly susceptible

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

CTmax of F2 generation was significantly affected by F1 heat acclimation. Slower ramping rates recorded significantly lower CTmax than higher ramping rates. Both desiccation and heat acclimation reduced heat knockdown time. Abstract The Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier), is a significant cosmopolitan primary pest of cereals worldwide
