Evidence of active oviposition avoidance to systemically applied imidacloprid in the Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata)

This study shows that Colorado Potato Beetle females actively avoid ovipositing on imidacloprid-treated plants, suggesting learned behavior contributes to their resistance and spread.

Inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by spirotetramat causes lipid depletion and surface coat deficiency in nematodes

This study shows that spirotetramat inhibits nematode acetyl-CoA carboxylase, causing lipid depletion and surface coat deficiency, suggesting a new nematicidal mechanism.
