Abstract:
... Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is one of the most challenging pests of potato, Solanum tuberosum L., largely due to its propensity to develop insecticide resistance. Historically, L. decemlineata has rapidly evolved resistance to all major classes of synthetic insecticides, particularly in the eastern United States. However, in the U.S. Pac ...

Abstract:
... The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a significant pest of field corn, Zea mays L. (Poales: Poaceae), across the United States Corn Belt. Widespread adoption and continuous use of corn hybrids expressing the Cry3Bb1 protein to manage the western corn rootworm has resulted in greater than expected injury to Cry3Bb1-expressing hybrids in m ...

Abstract:
... The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattodea: Ectobiidae), is a common pest of human-built structures worldwide. German cockroaches are generalist omnivores able to survive on a wide variety of foods. A number of studies have concluded that laboratory-reared B. germanica self-select diets with an approximate 1P:3C (protein-to-carbohydrate) ratio. We predicted that field-collected inse ...

Abstract:
... The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), is a pest mainly controlled with insecticides, and it can acquire resistance through different mechanisms. Pyrethroids can select the knock down resistance (kdr) mutation in M. persicae and can also produce lethal and sub-lethal effects on its main parasitoid, Aphidius colemani Viereck. However, kdr-resistant M. persicae exhibits a reduced response t ...
