Abundance of non-target pests in transgenic Bt-maize: A farm scale study

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
The impact of transgenic Bt-maize, expressing the Cry1Ab protein, on aphids, leafhoppers, cutworms and wireworms was evaluated at the farm scale by comparing their abundance on Bt-plots and those sown with the isogenic variety over three consecutive ...

The distribution of soil insects across three spatial scales in agricultural grassland [PDF]

, 2016
The effects of specific environmental factors on abundance and distribution of some individual soil insect taxa is known, but how scale influences spatial distribution is less well evaluated, particularly at the community level.

Validation of the prognosis model SIMAGRIO‐W to predict larval activity in top soil layers for Agriotes larvae in eastern Austria Validierung des Prognosemodells SIMAGRIO‐W zur Vorhersage der Aktivität von Agriotes‐Larven in den obersten Bodenschichten in Ostösterreich

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Wireworms migrate within the soil column depending on the temperature and moisture content of the soil. SIMAGRIO‐W model accuracy comparison between Germany and Austria. Different temperature preferences highlight the need for species‐specific modelling.

Phylogenomics‐based click‐beetle classification tackles multiple origins of phenotypic modifications

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Using a concatenated dataset consisting of new genomic data from 73 species across 40 click‐beetle tribes and an earlier published, smaller dataset, we conducted the first 4200‐ortholog study targeting the phylogeny of Elateridae with the highest resolution to date.
