As generalist predators, insectivorous bats exploit fluctuations in prey distribution and abundance. A more nuanced understanding of the influence on arthropod pests requires documentation pest species consume conditions associated with variation rates consumption. Here, we used high-throughput metabarcoding DNA extracted from bat feces to investigate diets 180 representing three Vespertilionid...

The aggregation pheromone of Carpophilus hemiptenls (L.), previously isolated and identified using wind-tunnel bioassays, was field tested in California. A 4-d preliminary study in plantings of figs and stone fruits was followed by long-term studies in a date garden (12 mo) and a stone fruit orchard (11 wk). The pheromone was most effective in combination with host-related coattractants such as...
