Aerial applications of a registered formulation of synthetic spruce budworm female sex pheromone were made in 2008, 2013 and 2014 to disrupt mating in populations of this forest insect pest in Quebec, Canada. Each year, the applications resulted in a 90% reduction in captures of male spruce budworm moths in pheromone-baited traps. A commensurate re...

Thirty-five codling moth (CM, Cydia pomonella L., Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) populations collected in different commercial orchards in six European countries were tested for their susceptibility to Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV-M). Including previously published data on CpGV-M resistance, a total of 38 CM colonies showed considerably elevated L...

Biological control by conservation of native natural enemies can help to reduce the need for pesticides and prevent their detrimental effects upon the environment. Here we assess the role of ground-active generalist predators as natural enemies of two tortricid pests in apple orchards. Using diagnostic PCR on the gut of field-caught ground-active p...

Hosts belonging to the same species suffer dramatically different impacts from their natural enemies. This has been explained by host neighbourhood, that is, by surrounding host-species diversity or spatial separation between hosts. However, even spatially neighbouring hosts may be separated by many million years of evolutionary history, potentiall...

Analysing spatial patterns of population distributions may help to infer the decisive underlying ecological processes. Here we propose a method adapted to the spatial analysis of count data. Named MAPCOMP (MAP COMParison), it is based on the calculation of a formal distance, the Hellinger distance, between the density map of counts and the density ...

Light brown apple moth is an exotic pest that was confirmed in California in March 2007. It is a tortricid leaf-roller moth native to Australia, which has a broad range of plant hosts with the capacity to cause damage across a wide array of crops, natural areas and ornamental plants. California and federal agencies have issued quarantine orders aff...
