Farm to Fork: Linking Biology of Postharvest Insects to their Management

On-Demand

On-Demand

Post-harvest losses amount to billions of USD each year. Management of pests that may cause a substantial portion of these losses is critical for food security, while understanding their biology significantly contributes to IPM. Presentations here will focus on linking biology to management in postharvest insect pest species.

Presentations:

  • Evolutionary adaptation and constraint shapes variation in flour beetle (Tribolium spp.) immune responses to their natural parasites

    Presenting Author: Ann Thomas Tate – Vanderbilt University

  • Density-dependent dispersal and its impacts on reproductive traits in new colonies of a stored-product pest

    Presenting Author: Allyssa Kilanowski – University of Kentucky

    Co-Author: David Westneat – University of Kentucky

    Co-Author: Charles Fox – University of Kentucky

  • Fine-scale behavioral response of Plodia interpunctella to the presence of pheromone lures

    Presenting Author: Alison R. Gerken – USDA-ARS
