Introduction and establishment of biological control agents for control of emerald ash borer (<i>Agrilus planipennis</i>) in Canada Open
The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a serious pest of ash ( Fraxinus spp.) (Oleaceae) in North America. Control of emerald ash borer is difficult in natural forest settings; therefore, a class…

Origins and History of Laboratory Insect Stocks in a Multispecies Insect Production Facility, With the Proposal of Standardized Nomenclature and Designation of Formal Standard Names Open
Laboratory insect colonies are an essential part of experimental insect science. Formalized naming of laboratory stocks is standard practice in model organisms such as mice and fruit flies, but crucial details such as colony origin and sta…

A modified technique for rearing wood boring insects permits visualization of larval development Open
Studying the larvae of wood boring insects is difficult because this stage of the life cycle is spent hidden from the eyes of researchers. Previous studies have used sections of bark and phloem sandwiched between pieces of glass or plastic…
