author keywords: tobacco budworm; bollworm; fall armyworm; cotton; Bacillus thuringiensis; MVPII; Cry1Ac; Cry2Ab2; behavioral resistance; increased feeding
MeSH headings : Animals; Hemolysin Proteins / genetics; Hemolysin Proteins / pharmacology; Hemolysin Proteins / metabolism; Endotoxins / genetics; Endotoxins / metabolism; Pest Control, Biological; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins; Moths / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis / metabolism; Insecticide Resistance / genetics; Gossypium / metabolism; Larva / metabolism
TL;DR: The hypothesis that increased feeding rate is a behavioral mechanism for reducing caterpillar susceptibility to Bt is supported and the literature reviewed support the hypothesis. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: J. Deguenon n, N. Travanty n, J. Zhu n, A. Carr n, S. Denning n, M. Reiskind n , D. Watson  n, R. Roe  n, L. Ponnusamy n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Diptera / microbiology; Farms; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; Humans; Metabolome; Metabolomics / methods; Microbiota; Phylogeny; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S
TL;DR: A snapshot of the microbial communities harbored by adult black blow flies is provided and calls for more comprehensive studies to better characterize the role these flies may play in the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. (via Semantic Scholar)

Novel use of aliphatic n-methyl ketones as a fumigant and alternative to methyl bromide for insect control

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, 74(3), 648–657.

By: J. Zhu n, A. Dhammi n, J. Kretschmar n, E. Vargo n, C. Apperson n & R. Roe n 

author keywords: fumigant; methyl bromide; methyl ketone; 2-undecanone; Solenopsis invicta
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants; Insect Control; Insecticides; Ketones; Lethal Dose 50; North Carolina
TL;DR: Reagent grade undecanone was more cost-effective than methyl bromide for fire ants, adult German cockroaches and tobacco budworm eggs, but slightly more expensive for adult flour beetles. (via Semantic Scholar)

Comparison of synganglion neuropeptides, neuropeptide receptors and neurotransmitter receptors and their gene expression in response to feeding in Ixodes scapularis (Ixodidae) vs. Ornithodoros turicata (Argasidae)

INSECT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 25(1), 72–92.

By: N. Egekwu*, D. Sonenshine *, H. Garman*, D. Barshis *, N. Cox *, B. Bissinger, J. Zhu n, R. Roe n 

author keywords: Illumina; transcriptomics; synganglion; gene ontology; neuropeptides; neuropeptide receptors; neurotransmitters; quantitative PCR; gene expression; blood feeding
MeSH headings : Animals; Diuresis; Feeding Behavior; Female; Ganglion Cysts / metabolism; Gene Expression; Gene Ontology; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Ixodes / metabolism; Molting; Neuropeptides / metabolism; Ornithodoros / metabolism; Receptors, Neuropeptide / metabolism; Reproduction; Salivary Glands / metabolism
TL;DR: Major differences were observed in expression of genes believed important in regulating slow vs. rapid feeding, blood water elimination, cuticle synthesis plasticity and in signalling reproductive activity in the soft tick Ornithodoros turicata and the hard tick Ixodes scapularis.
