DOI: 10.1002/ps.4550
Abstract: Abstract BACKGROUND The field ecology of the pollen beetle Meligethes aeneus and its damaging effects on oilseed rape crops are well understood. However, the flight behaviour of M. aeneus, in particular the drivers for migratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6310
Abstract: Abstract BACKGROUND The pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus) is the most abundant pest of oilseed rape in spring and is potentially one of the most damaging. Adults feed on the pollen within closed flower buds and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7266
Abstract: BACKGROUND Improving crop resistance to insect herbivores is a major research objective in breeding programs. Although genomic technologies have increased the speed at which large populations can be genotyped, breeding programs still suffer from phenotyping… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-021-10111-9
Abstract: Dropleg sprayers apply pesticides below the flower horizon of oilseed rape plants and thus reduce unwanted side effects on pollinating insects. Whether this technique benefits parasitoids of seed and pollen feeding insect pests has not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-01975-9
Abstract: Double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) represent a promising class of biosafe insecticidal compounds. We examined the ability to induce RNA interference (RNAi) in the pollen beetle Brassicogethes aeneus via anther feeding, and compared short-term (3 d) to… read more here.
