2008 journal article

A technique to monitor insect behavior utilizing infrared emitters and detectors

JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 43(1), 143–152.

By: S. Thompson n, R. Brandenburg n, G. Roberson n  & B. Lineberger n

author keywords: behavior; detector; emitter; infrared; LabVIEW (TM) software; mole cricket; photosensor

2007 journal article

Entomopathogenic fungi detection and avoidance by mole crickets (Orthoptera : Gryllotalpidae)

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 36(1), 165–172.

By: S. Thompson n, R. Brandenburg n & G. Roberson n 

author keywords: infrared emitters and detectors; Beauveria bassiana; Scapteriscus borellii; S. vicinus; avoidance
TL;DR: Changes in mole cricket tunneling and residence time in treated soil occurred for some strains of B. bassiana but not others, which could suggest a more sensitive chemosensory recognition system for southern mole crickets. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Effect of combining imidacloprid and diatomaceous earth with Beauveria bassiana on mole cricket (Orthoptera : Gryllotalpidae) mortality

Journal of Economic Entomology, 99(6), 1948–1954.

By: S. Thompson n & R. Brandenburg n

TL;DR: The interactions of other control products with B. bassiana are clarified and a basis for a reduced pesticide approach to mole cricket control is provided and mortality of all combination treatments was less than additive. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Impact of moisture and UV degradation on Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin conidial viability in turfgrass

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL, 39(3), 401–407.

By: S. Thompson*, R. Brandenburg n & J. Arends

author keywords: Beauveria bassiana; conidial viability; fluorescence microscopy; irrigation; optical brightener
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the greater amount of irrigation helps to move the conidia deeper into the thatch layer and soil profile, an area that provides protection from damaging surface temperatures and UV exposure. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

Conidial viability and pathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin for mole cricket (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) control in turfgrass

2005 journal article

Tunneling responses of mole crickets (Orthoptera : Gryllotalpidae) to the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 34(1), 140–147.

By: . Thompson n & R. Brandenburg n

author keywords: Scapteriscus borellii; Scapteriscus vicinus; Beauveria bassiana; turfgrass; avoidance
TL;DR: Observations indicate that the presence of environmentally “friendly” control agents, such as entomogenous fungi, may affect pest behavior, and strain selection may be critical to eliminate detection and avoidance by the target insect. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 journal article

A modified pool design for collecting adult mole crickets (Orthoptera : Gryllotalpidae)

FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST, 87(4), 582–584.

By: . Thompson n & R. Brandenburg n

TL;DR: For their research purposes, the authors needed a design that was inexpensive, quick and easy to assemble, temporary at each site, and able to maintain the live crickets for up to a week between visits, and a modified design of the wading pools that met all of their requirements was developed in 2003.
