Froghopper-inspired direction-changing concept for miniature jumping robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To improve the maneuverability and agility of jumping robots, several researchers have studied steerable jumping mechanisms. This steering ability enables robots to reach a particular target by controlling their jumping direction. To this end, we pro...

Knockdown of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase results in reduced resistance to buprofezin in the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (fallén).

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) plays an important role in cytochrome P450 function, and CPR knockdown in several insects leads to increased susceptibility to insecticides. However, a putative CPR gene has not yet been fully characterized in th...

Machine-learning approach facilitates prediction of whitefly spatiotemporal dynamics in a plant canopy.

Journal of economic entomology
Plant-specific insect scouting and prediction are still challenging in most crop systems. In this article, a machine-learning algorithm is proposed to predict populations during whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci, Hemiptera; Gennadius Aleyrodidae) scouting a...
