Superclonal expansion and barley yellow dwarf virus transmission failure in invasive Metopolophium festucae cerealium

Shirin Parizad, Jane Dostart, Subodh Adhikari, Milo Flint et autres

Biological invasions can influence ecosystems, yet the evolutionary trajectories and disease dynamics of clonal expansion remain poorly understood. Since its 2011 detection, Metopolophium festucae cerealium (Stroyan), a subspecies of the cereal grass aphid endemic to Europe, has expanded across small grain growing …

Biological control mitigates spread of vector-borne plant pathogens

Kris A. G. Wyckhuys, Yi Zou, David W. Crowder, Evie Adriani et autres

Diseases caused by vector-borne plant pathogens cause adverse impacts on yield resilience, food security, and farmer livelihoods, which are bound to aggravate under global change. Biological control is routinely discounted as a mitigation strategy for plant diseases, partially due to scarce and …

Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) Use Root Volatiles and CO2 to Discriminate Among Host Plants

Atoosa Nikoukar, Rohollah Sadeghi, Sanford D. Eigenbrode, William J. Price et autres

In the absence of visual signals, subterranean arthropods rely on olfactory and tactile cues to navigate toward resources. Here, in a series of pairwise dual-choice bioassays, we investigated the Limonius californicus (Col., Elateridae) larva response to wheat, pea, and bean seedlings in …

Multi-temporal Multispectral Imaging and Deep Learning for Hessian Fly Infestation Early Detection

Jingshu Wang, Kwaku Opoku-Ware, Liujun Li, Steven Odubiyi et autres

Abstract. Remote sensing has been widely applied in ecological and agricultural research and management, but its use in pest detection in agricultural areas is rare. Multispectral imagery was obtained through remote sensing to analyze Hessian fly infestation. Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) infestation …

Addressing communication challenges in transdisciplinary sustainability science: insights from a case study

Urs Schaffner, Marisa A. Rinkus, Michael O’Rourke, Troy E. Hall et autres

To address sustainable development challenges, transdisciplinary sustainability science (TDSS) requires understanding and managing ecological processes that transcend scientific, geopolitical, and cultural divides. Communication that can bridge these divides is critical for the success of TDSS projects. We describe a communication strategy developed …

Charting the course of invasion: Ensemble species distribution models predict the range expansion of a newly invasive aphid pest Metopolophium festucae cerealium in North America

Subodh Adhikari, Vivek Srivastava, Tyler Wist, Sanford D. Eigenbrode

Invasive species, including insect pests, pose significant threats globally. Ongoing global environmental changes may exacerbate the threats, by potentially favoring range expansion of invasive pests, altering native ecosystems, and damaging valuable crops. To reduce the spread and impact of invasive pests, monitoring …

Studies on the host selection of a weed biological control candidate facilitate pre-release environmental safety assessments

Bijay Subedi, Mark Schwarzländer, Sanford D. Eigenbrode, B. L. Harmon et autres

Abstract Pre-release host specificity testing can reliably predict the environmental safety of weed biological control agent (BCA) candidates but typically does not consider their host-finding behavior. Therefore, BCA candidates that do not utilize non-target plants in the field post-release, despite development on …
