Shrewsbury,P. Dilip Venugopal,Joanne Whalen,Nik G. Wiman,Tracy C. Leskey,John F. Tooker +28 more
TL;DR: Pesticide applications, including broad-spectrum insecticides, have increased in response to H. halys infestations, potentially negatively influencing populations of beneficial arthropods and increasing secondary pest outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional pest suppression associated with widespread Bt maize adoption benefits vegetable growers.
Galen P. Dively,P. Dilip Venugopal,Dick Bean,Joanne Whalen,Kristian Holmstrom,Thomas P. Kuhar,Hélène Doughty,Terry W. Patton,William Cissel,William D. Hutchison +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vegetable growers benefit via decreased crop damage and insecticide applications in relation to pest suppression in the Mid-Atlantic United States, and the positive impacts identified here expand on the reported ecological effects of Bt adoption.

TL;DR: A review of 98 indigenous natural enemy datasets spanning a variety of sampling methods, habitats, and geographic areas identifies a number of key research gaps and suggest several directions for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attraction of the Invasive Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) to Traps Baited with Semiochemical Stimuli Across the United States
Tracy C. Leskey,Arthur M. Agnello,J. Christopher Bergh,Galen P. Dively,George C. Hamilton,Peter Jentsch,Ashot Khrimian,Grzegorz Krawczyk,Thomas P. Kuhar,Doo-Hyung Lee,William R. Morrison,Dean Polk,Cesar Rodriguez-Saona,Peter W. Shearer,Brent D. Short,Paula M. Shrewsbury,James F. Walgenbach,Donald C. Weber,Celeste Welty,Joanne Whalen,Nik G. Wiman,Faruque U. Zaman +21 more
TL;DR: H. halys adults and nymphs are attracted to the aggregation pheromone season long, but that attraction is significantly increased with the addition of the synergist MDT, suggesting that these stimuli will be useful tools to monitor for H. Halys in managed systems.
