A new paper by Grace Carscallen, Dr. Swaroop Kher, and Dr. Maya Evenden titled “Efficacy of chlorantraniliprole seed treatments against armyworm (Mythimna unipuncta [Lepidoptera: Noctuidae]) larvae on corn (Zea mays)” has been published in the Journal of Economic Entomology. The paper examines the effects of the synthetic insecticide chlorantraniliprole on the pest M. unipuncta.

A new paper by Dr. Chaminda De Silva Weeraddana, and Dr. Maya L. Evenden has been published in the journal of Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata. This paper tests the effect of Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), herbivory on subsequent host use by Bertha army worm, Mamestra configurata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

A new paper by Victor A. Shegelski, Maya L. Evenden, and Felix A. H. Sperling has been published in the journal of Agricultural and Forest Entomology. The paper examines the relationship between wing and body morphology of female mountain pine beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae) with flight potential. While other factors influence flight capacity, these findings may assist with future dispersal modelling.

A new paper has been published by Dr. Maya Evenden in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America. This paper reviews the current knowledge of pea leaf weevil chemical ecology and management using semiochemical-baited traps, and provides suggested avenues for further research. The paper can be found here.
A new paper has been accepted and published by Dr. Chaminda De Silva Weeraddana and Dr. Evenden in the Journal of Economic Entomology on oviposition preference and larval performance of bertha armyworm on 3 canola varieties under 4 fertilizer regimes. The full paper can be found here.
Congratulations to Chaminda, who successfully defended his PhD thesis on April 30, 2018. Great job Chaminda!
A new paper by Dr. Joelle K. Lemmen-Lechelt, Dr. Tyler Wist, and Dr. Maya Evenden titled “State-Dependent Plasticity in Response to Host-Plant Volatiles in a Long-Lived Moth, Caloptilia fraxinella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)” has been published in the Journal of Chemical Ecology. The paper examines the effects of physiological state and nutritional status on the response of the ash leaf cone roller to plant cues. The paper can be found here.
Sarah McPike successfully defended her thesis “Enhancing parasitism of the introduced ash tree pest, Caloptilia fraxinella by native parasitoid, Apanteles polychrosidis in Edmonton, Alberta” on February 15, 2018, to be dubbed our newest Master of Science. Congratulations Sarah!
