Open AccessGenomic innovations, transcriptional plasticity and gene loss underlying the evolution and divergence of two highly polyphagous and invasive Helicoverpa pest species
Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa zea are major caterpillar pests of Old and New World agriculture, respectively. Both, particularly H. armigera, are extremely polyphagous, and H. a...

Mating Disruption of Citrus Leafminer Mediated by a Noncompetitive Mechanism at a Remarkably Low Pheromone Release Rate
The citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is a worldwide pest of citrus. A season-long investigation was conducted that evaluated mating disruption for this pest. Effect...

Differentiation of Competitive vs. Non-competitive Mechanisms Mediating Disruption of Moth Sexual Communication by Point Sources of Sex Pheromone (Part 2): Case Studies
Eleven out of 13 disruption profiles (plots of dispenser density vs. male catch) from moth sex pheromone literature were consistent with a competitive-attraction mechanism, in which dispensers attract males an...

Differentiation of Competitive vs. Non-competitive Mechanisms Mediating Disruption of Moth Sexual Communication by Point Sources of Sex Pheromone (Part I): Theory1
This study establishes a theoretical framework for differentiating among possible behavioral mechanisms whereby sexual communication of moths is disrupted in crops treated with point sources of pheromone. The ...

Orientational Behaviors and EAG Responses of Male Codling Moth After Exposure to Synthetic Sex Pheromone from Various Dispensers
The effect of brief pheromone exposures on responses of codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.) males was tested by flight-tunnel and electroantennogram (EAG) studies. Males were preexposed to pheromone for up to 3 min...

An Interesting Spin-State Transition for [Fe(PPIX)OH] Induced by High Pressure in a Diamond Anvil Cell
A high-pressure Mössbauer spectroscopic study of [57Fe(PPIX)OH] is reported under conditions where the pressure is increased and then released. Data were recorded over the pressure range from room pressure to 7.1...

High Pressure Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Molecular Solids. The Importance of ‘Free’ Space in Molecular Lattices
The behaviour of a number of different molecular solids (both neutral and charged) to applied pressure is discussed. It is shown that the geometry of the molecules, the presence of and number of charges, and t...
