The Red Queen in a potato field: integrated pest management versus chemical dependency in Colorado potato beetle control Publish Date: 2013-12-06 Author/Source: Andrei Alyokhin, David Mota-Sanchez, Mitchell Baker, William E Snyder, Sandra Menasha, Mark Whalon, Galen Dively and Wassem F Moarsi Description: Resistance varied significantly among the field populations but was not related to cannibalism. Neonates fed eggs from dams on treated foliage showed signs of intoxication or death. Cannibalism appears to be part of a varying life history strategy in this species, with some populations laying larger and more cannibalistic clutches and the New York population laying smaller clutches with higher hatching success owing to reduced cannibalism. State/Region: Northeast |

Cold Tolerance of Bed Bugs and Practical Recommendations for Control Publish Date: 2013-12-01 Author/Source: Olson, Joelle F.; Eaton, Marc; Kells, Stephen A.; Morin, Victor; Wang, Changlu Description: Bed bugs were exposed to freezing temperatures for various exposure times to determine cold tolerance and mortality estimates for multiple life stages. The mean supercooling point for all bed bug life stages ranged from ?21.3°C to ?30.3°C, with the egg stage reporting the lowest value. A probit analysis provided a lower lethal temperature (LLT99) of ?31.2°C when estimates from all life stages were combined, demonstrating that all stages of bed bugs are not capable of surviving temperatures below body freezing and are therefore freeze intolerant State/Region: National |

Are Weeds Hitchhiking a Ride on your Car? A systematic Review of Seed Dispersal on Cars Publish Date: 2013-11-12 Author/Source: Ansong, Michael; Pickering, Catherine Description: When traveling in cars, we can unintentionally carry and disperse weed seed; but which species, and where are they a problem? To answer these questions, we systematically searched the scientific literature to identify all original research studies that assess seed transported by cars and listed the species with seed on/in cars.

Pesticide-Induced Release from Competition Among Competing Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Publish Date: 2013-11-01 Author/Source: Alto, Barry W.; Lampman, Richard L.; Kesavaraju, Banugopan; Muturi, Ephantus J. Description: Competitive interactions between mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) may depend on environmental conditions. Pesticides may alleviate density-dependent com- petition for limited food, and a differential species response to sublethal concentrations may modify interspeciÞc competition. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to malathion alters interspeciÞc resource competition between these two species State/Region: Southeast |

Standard metabolic rate of the bed bug, Cimex lectularius: Effects of temperature, mass, and life stage Publish Date: 2013-11 Author/Source: Zachary C. DeVriesa, Stephen A. Kellsb, Arthur G. Appel Description: Metabolic rates provide important information about the biology of organisms. For ectothermic species such as insects, factors such as temperature and mass heavily influence metabolism, but these effects differ considerably between species. In this study we examined the standard metabolic rate of the bed bug, State/Region: National |

Biophysical Constraints to Potential Production Capacity of Potato across the U.S. Eastern Seaboard Region Publish Date: 2013-10-25 Author/Source: Fleisher, D.H., J.P. Resop, D.J. Timlin, and V.R. Reddy Description: The Eastern Seaboard region (ESR) of the United States is densely populated and depends on imported food. Agricultural systems are vulnerable to uncertainties such as environmental conditions, climate change, and transportation costs. Local populations could benefit from regional food systems as a way to provide security; however, the potential production capacity of the region would first need to be quantified.

Publish Date: 2013-10 Author/Source: Wang C, Henderson G, Gautam BK Description: In this study, C. formosanus previously fed lufenuron was exposed to each of the three entomopathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Schroeter) Migula, Serratia marcescens Bizio, and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner subsp. israelensis. We found that termite mortality was significantly higher and synergistic in the combination of lufenuron and P. aeruginosa compared with treatment of lufenuron or P. aeruginosa alone States/Regions: Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Southeast |

Effect of Feeding Status on Mortality Response of Adult Bed Bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) to Some Insecticide Products Publish Date: 2013-09-25 Author/Source: Yasmin Akhtar, Murray B. Isman Description: Horizontal transfer of insecticide occurs when insects contact or ingest an insecticide, return to an aggregation or a nest, and transfer the insecticide to other conspecific insects through contact. This phenomenon has been reported in a number of insects including social insects, however it has not been reported in bed bugs. Since horizontal transfer can facilitate the spread of insecticide into hard to reach spaces, it could contribute greatly to the management of these public health pests.
