Response of seedcorn maggot (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) to seed-attractant combinations Open
Insects use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as environmental cues for resource-searching. Volatile cues provide information that can attract pollinators and natural enemies or repel crop pests. Naturally occurring VOCs are valuable tools…

Red harvester ant nests impact soil compaction but not temperature in peri-urban habitats of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Open
Ants are vital ecosystem engineers that can influence soil properties, subsequent soil processes, and associated biota via underground nest construction. Harvester ants consume seeds and are often found in arid areas, frequently altering s…

Monitoring adult <i>Delia platura</i> (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) in New York State corn fields using blue and yellow sticky cards Open
The seedcorn maggot, Delia platura (Meigen; Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is a polyphagous pest that feeds on decaying organic matter, seeds, and seedlings of several crops, including corn ( Zea mays L.; Poaceae). In corn and soybeans, D . platu…

Red Harvester Ant (Pogonomyrmex barbatus F. Smith; Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Preference for Cover Crop Seeds in South Texas Open
Harvester ants often selectively forage seeds, causing these ants to be viewed as pests in agricultural areas where they may forage on crop seeds. While little research has been done on harvester ant preferences for cover crop seeds, growe…
