2010 journal article

The influence of temperature and precipitation on spring dispersal of Frankliniella fusca changes as the season progresses

ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, 134(3), 260–271.

By: S. Morsello n, A. Beaudoin n, R. Groves*, B. Nault* & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: population dynamics; tomato spotted wilt virus; Thysanoptera; Thripidae; landscape scale; degree days; bootstrap; jackknife
TL;DR: The results provide strong evidence that the suppressive effects of precipitation on growth of local populations developing during late winter and early spring are subsequently manifest at the landscape scale as reductions in the populations of dispersing adults that may persist for as long as 5–6 weeks after the precipitation occurs.

2003 journal article

Establishment of multicolored Asian lady beetle in Eastern North Carolina: Seasonal abundance and crop exploitation within an agricultural landscape

BIOCONTROL, 48(4), 363–378.

By: B. Nault* & G. Kennedy  n

author keywords: biological control; Coccinellidae; Coleoptera; habitat utilization; Harmonia axyridis; landscape
TL;DR: Seasonal abundance and cropexploitation of the multicolored Asian ladybeetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas)(Coccinellidae: Coleoptera), were identified during its initial establishment in the eastern North Carolina agroecosystem and provide a baseline against which the results of future studies can be compared to determine if H. axyridi is displacing established species.

2000 journal article

Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae) feeding, development, and survival to adulthood after continuous exposure to Bacillus thuringiensis subsp tenebrionis-treated potato foliage from the field

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 93(1), 149–156.

By: B. Nault n, S. Costa n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: Colorado potato beetle; Bacillus thuringiensis subsp tenebrionis; feeding; development; survival
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis; Coleoptera / growth & development; Coleoptera / physiology; Colorado; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; Pest Control, Biological; Solanum tuberosum
TL;DR: Reduced feeding and poor survival of late instars suggest that counts of large larvae after application do not provide a complete picture of the efficacy of the B. thuringiensis treatment, and development was prolonged in these insects because of ingestion of a sublethal dose of B.Thuringienis.

2000 journal article

Seasonal changes in habitat preference by Coleomegilla maculata: Implications for Colorado potato beetle management in potato

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL, 17(2), 164–173.

By: B. Nault n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: Coleomegilla maculata; Leptinotarsa decemlineata; overwintering; dispersal; seasonal abundance
TL;DR: Given the current mixture of crops as well as climatic and marketing limitations on planting date for potatoes, the potential for habitat manipulation to increase the impact of C. maculata on Colorado potato beetle management in potato in the mid-Atlantic states appears to be limited.

1998 journal article

Limitations of using regression and mean separation analyses for describing the response of crop yield to defoliation: A case study of the Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae) on potato

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 91(1), 7–20.

By: B. Nault n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: Colorado potato beetle; yield; defoliation; regression; mean separation procedures; economic injury level
TL;DR: The relationship between Irish potato tuber yield, Solanum tuberosum L., and defoliation by the Colorado potato beetle was investigated and the use of regression and mean separation analyses as a basis for developing economic injury levels were compared. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

Location and abundance of adult Colorado potato beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) following potato harvest

CROP PROTECTION, 16(6), 511–518.

By: B. Nault n, M. Hanzlik n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: Leptinotarsa decemlineata; Irish potato; overwintering; management
TL;DR: Densities of overwintering adults in soil along field edges were greater than those within fields prior to emergence in the spring, suggesting that adults moved toward field edges to overwinter, and tillage at different times between crop production seasons was evaluated for its effect on overwinters, but was found to have little effect.

1996 journal article

Sequential Sampling Plans for Use in Timing Insecticide Applications for Control of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Potato

Journal of Economic Entomology, 89(6), 1468–1476.

By: B. Nault n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: presence-absence sampling; binomial and beta-binomial probability distributions; action thresholds; decision making
TL;DR: Precision of the sequential sampling plans decreased as the aggregation of O. nubilalis damage increased, especially when the proportion of damaged stems was near threshold, however, the decision to make the decision was still made. (via Semantic Scholar)

1996 journal article

Timing insecticide applications for managing European corn borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) infestations in potato

Crop Protection, 15(5), 465–471.

By: B. Nault n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: Ostrinia nubilalis; Irish potato; insecticide control
TL;DR: For any given corn borer infestation level, estimates of damage to the crop will increase as the season progresses, and a single application of either carbofuran or methamidophos when ≈20–40% of the stems are damaged in early May should improve European corn borers management in potato.

1995 journal article

Assessing compensation for insect damage in mixed plantings of resistant and susceptible potatoes

American Potato Journal, 72(3), 157–176.

By: B. Nault n, P. Follett *, F. Gould  n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: PLANT MIXTURES; YIELD; COMPENSATION; INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
TL;DR: Compensation in mixtures of resistant and susceptible potato was not evident using several non-linear regression analyses and a negative linear relationship existed between yield and an increasing percent of susceptible plants in the mixture for all planting densities, at each location, every year.
