As one method of genetic biocontrol, gene drive technology is currently being developed to manage the invasive agricultural pest spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii, SWD). While there have been calls for stakeholder engagement on gene drive technology, there has been a lack of empirical work, especially concerning stakeholder engagement to inform risk assessment. To help address this gap and inform future risk assessments and governance decisions for SWD gene drive technology, we conducted a survey of 184 SWD stakeholders to explore how they define and prioritize potential benefits and potential adverse effects from proposed SWD gene drive technology. We found that stakeholders considered the most important potential benefits of SWD gene drive technology to be: 1) Decrease in the quantity or toxicity of pesticides used, and 2) Decrease in SWD populations. Stakeholders were most concerned about the potential adverse effects of: 1) Decrease in beneficial insects, 2) Increase in non-SWD secondary pest infestations, and 3) Decrease in grower profits. Notably, we found that even stakeholders who expressed support for the use of SWD gene drive technology expressed concerns about potential adverse effects from the technology, emphasizing the need to move past simplistic, dichotomous views of what it means to support or oppose a technology. These findings suggest that instead of focusing on the binary question of whether stakeholders support or oppose SWD gene drive technology, it is more important to identify and assess the factors that are consequential to stakeholder decision making - including, for example, exploring whether and under what conditions key potential adverse effects and potential benefits would result from the use of SWD gene drive technology.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Kokotovich, Adam E. and Barnhill-Dilling, S.

During 2016–2017, we studied the efficacy of exclusion netting at reducing infestation damage in fall-bearing raspberries caused by an invasive vinegar fly, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura. In an effort to manage outbreak infestation, we studied the efficacy of baited attracticidal spheres in netted and open plots. We also monitored the effects of netting on fruit marketability, abiotic conditions near the fruiting zone, and pollination effects due to exclusion. The results showed that while 80 g HDPE netting sufficiently deterred D. suzukii infestation early in the season, late-season infestation was often greater in netted zones compared to insecticide-treated open plots. The introduction of baited attracticidal spheres under the netting did not consistently reduce infestation, and in some cases even increased infestation late in the season, likely due to the presence of the olfactory bait. During both test years, fruit marketability was greater in netted plots compared with open plots, and in open plots, we observed more overripe fruit and additional feeding damage caused by other herbivores. However, the incidence of crumbly berry was higher in netted plots, indicating pollination deficits. Supplemental pollination appeared to reduce these effects. Although temperature did not differ significantly between netted and open plots, we also observed greater incidence of botrytis infection in netted plots containing attracticidal spheres, which was not present in netted plots alone. These data suggest that while exclusion netting may be a valuable tool for D. suzukii pest management, unless outbreak infestation under the netting and supplementation pollination are addressed, significant challenges may impede large scale implementation.}, journal={CROP PROTECTION}, author={Stockton, Dara G. and Hesler, Stephen P. and Wallingford, Anna K. and Leskey, Tracy C. and McDermott, Laura and Elsensohn, Johanna E. and Riggs, Dale Ila M. and Pritts, Marvin and Loeb, Gregory M.}, year={2020}, month={Sep} }

Scientists can provide expert opinions to government officials and their staff in this and other processes of establishing and enforcing governmental legislation, policies, and regulations, although such expertise is often underutilized. This is partly due to the paucity of scientists who have training to engage policymakers.To address this deficit, many scientific societies now provide organized training in science policy, including how to seek out opportunities to engage with policymakers. One such example is the Entomological Society of America's Science Policy Fellowship (ESA SPF) program. This article is written by ESA SPF members and discusses the importance of interfacing with policymakers, some challenges this group encountered, and lessons learned through our experiences in the program. Through efforts like this, we hope to inspire other scientists to engage their societies in advocacy work and make their voice heard.}, number={2}, journal={ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA}, author={Elsensohn, Johanna E. and Anderson, Thomas and Cryan, Jason R. and Durham, Timothy and Gandhi, Kamal J.

Genetic pest management has emerged as a viable, non-chemical alternative for managing insect pests. The development of engineered gene drives for agricultural use is promising, though unproven, and has the potential to impact farmers as well as broader socio-ecological systems in several ways. Drawing on lessons from the deployment of other pest control technologies, this paper considers how insects containing gene drives could intersect with some of the complexities that characterize agricultural systems. Gene drives are being developed in a landscape of pest management shaped by past and current approaches, experiences, regulations, public opinion, and pest invasions. Because gene drive insects may spread well beyond their release area, stakeholder groups at different spatial scales need to be engaged in decisions about their deployment. This new paradigm both complicates and offers great promise for future pest management efforts.}, journal={JOURNAL OF RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION}, author={Baltzegar, Jennifer and Barnes, Jessica Cavin and Elsensohn, Johanna E. and Gutzmann, Nicole and Jones, Michael S. and King, Sheron and Sudweeks, Jayce}, year={2018}, pages={S81–S97} }

While knowing the full range of host species is important, a seasonal investigation into the use of non-crop plants adjacent to cropping systems provide key insights into some of the factors determining local population dynamics. This study investigated the infestation of non-crop plants by the invasive Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), a pest of numerous economically important stone and small fruit crops, by sampling fruit-producing non-crop hosts adjacent to commercial plantings weekly from June through November in central New York over a two-year period. We found D. suzukii infestation rates (number of flies emerged/kg fruit) peaked mid-August through early September, with Rubus allegheniensis Porter and Lonicera morrowii Asa Gray showing the highest average infestation in both years. Interannual infestation patterns were similar despite a lower number of adults caught in monitoring traps the second year, suggesting D. suzukii host use may be density independent.}, number={1}, journal={Insects}, author={Elsensohn, J.
