Multistate Comparison of Attractants and the Impact of Fruit Development Stage on Trapping Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Raspberry and Blueberry.
Benjamin D Jaffe,Alina Avanesyan,Harit K. Bal,Yan Feng,Joshua A. Grant,Matthew J. Grieshop,Jana C. Lee,Oscar E. Liburd,Elena M. Rhodes,Cesar Rodriguez-Saona,Ashfaq A. Sial,Aijun Zhang,Christelle Guédot +12 more
TL;DR: Based on the metrics in this study, the yeast and sugar-based attractants were the most effective lures, and further work is needed to improve early season monitoring, elucidate the effects of physiological status on bait attraction, and understand how abiotic factors influence bait attraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical and temporal distribution of spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) and pollinators within cultivated raspberries
TL;DR: Pesticides applied during twilight that ensure coverage in the bottom half of the crop, or if applied in the late afternoon cover the entire crop, should improve the pesticide efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left versus right nipple preference in free-ranging infant rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
Benjamin D Jaffe,Theodore A. Evans,Sue Howell,Gregory Charles Westergaard,Philip Snoy,J. Dee Higley +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that nipple preference is guided by external stimuli, and that nipples preference during infancy may not be a behavioral representation of hemispheric specialization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass-Trapping Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella (Lepidopteran: Torticidae), Using a Kairomone Lure Reduces Fruit Damage in Commercial Apple Orchards.
TL;DR: Using a three-component kairomone lure that attracts both sexes, mass-trapping C. pomonella in 4-acre plots located within commercial apple orchards showed potential to be a novel and promising addition to integrated pest management of this major pest of pome fruits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolating Spermathecae and Determining Mating Status of Drosophila suzukii: A Protocol for Tissue Dissection and Its Applications
TL;DR: A step-by-step protocol for tissue dissection, isolating spermathecae, and determining the mating status of females was developed specifically for D. suzukii and demonstrated applicability for both field collected flies and flies reared in the lab, including fly specimens stored on a long-term basis.
