Features of the morphological structure of rostrum, and trophic preferences of weevils of the subfamily Lixinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) [PDF]
Structure of rostrum of the weevils from the subfamily Lixinae is considered. Morpho-functional features of the external sculpture of rostrum are discussed in connection with the biology of these beetles and localization of their eggs on a host ...

Some Light and Temperature Effects on the Behavior of the Adult Pales Weevil, Hylobius Pales (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Adult pales weevils react to light and temperature cues regarding their movements in pine plantations. They remain at the base of their host trees during the day and move onto the trees after dark. A drop in light intensity to 2 fc triggers this response.

Dust to weevils, weevils to dust: maize weevil personality and susceptibility to diatomaceous earth
The role of behavior in insecticide susceptibility is broadly recognized, in addition to the physiological effects of insecticides. Curiously, the recognition of the importance of behavior does not extend to the control by physical agents, like inert dusts such as diatomaceous earth (DE).

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival. [PDF]
Female boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.
