Abstract: Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) and Sitotroga cerealella (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) are important factitious hosts used for production of biological control agents. Their differences in terms of biology and behavior require adjustments in their mass production, particularly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2023249118
Abstract: Significance In holometabolous insects, the circadian clock restricts the time of adult emergence. Although this daily gating of behavior is one of the first circadian rhythms to be studied, little is known about the mechanism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01677063.2021.1914608
Abstract: Abstract The foraging (for) gene has been extensively studied in many species for its functions in development, physiology, and behavior. It is common for genes that influence behavior and development to be essential genes, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toz110
Abstract: Abstract Modified atmospheres such as hermetic storage are widely used for the control of stored grain insect pests. To improve their effectiveness, there is need to better understand insect responses to low-oxygen environments. Adult Callosobruchus… read more here.
