DOI: 10.1007/s10340-020-01230-w
Abstract: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-mediated gene silencing, or RNA interference (RNAi), is an emerging biotechnology that has been a breakthrough tool for crop protection. Exogenous dsRNA triggers the RNAi pathway, silences genes, disrupts protein function, and can… read more here.

Dispersal of emerald ash borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) parasitoids along an ash corridor in western New York
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biological Control"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2018.09.004
Abstract: Abstract Previous studies have documented that parasitoids introduced to North America for biological control of emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), are establishing and persisting. However, no study has explicitly assessed their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.05.082
Abstract: Wetlands self-organize through reciprocal controls between vegetation and hydrology, but external disturbance may disrupt these feedbacks with consequent changes to ecosystem state. Imminent and widespread emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation throughout North American forested wetlands… read more here.
