Impacts of Microbial Seed Inoculants on Growth of Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.), and Implications for Plant-insect Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Soil microbes that associate with plant roots can benefit plants by increasing the supply or availability of nutrients to increase the plant’s resilience to abiotic and biotic stress, crop germination rates, root and shoot ...
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Butterflies and Their Floral Resources
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Butterflies fulfill a unique role among insect pollinators as long-distance flyers. This makes butterflies particularly valuable as vectors of genetic diversity among spatially isolated plant populations. Like many insects, ...
Investigating the Subspecific Designation of Euschistus servus (Say) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) Using a Combined Landmark-Based Geometric Morphometrics Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Euschistus servus is currently subdivided into two subspecies: E. s. servus and E. s. euschistoides. An intergrade population inhabits the central U.S. This study sought to reevaluate the established subspecific designations ...
Thermal Biology, Overwintering, and a Degree-Day Model for the Adult Emergence of the Red Sunflower Seed Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Red sunflower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus LeConte, is a univoltine seed-feeding weevil that is a primary pest of cultivated sunflower, Helianthus annuus, in North America, especially within the upper Great Plains region. ...
