"We knew that camel crickets can eat almost anything, so we began to wonder what bacteria might be in a camel cricket’s microbial ecosystem that allows them to do that." https://t.co/g8C91J3JJe

What happens when a nearly eradicated agricultural #pest becomes resistant to pesticide? In certain parts of the world, a bollworm comeback. #BollwormComeback https://t.co/g1xHsaxURs

The mosquito Toxorhynchites rutilus is harmless to humans but a voracious predator of other mosquitoes. Researchers hope it could help control disease-transmitting mosquitoes—if they can find an efficient way to raise the predator mosquitoes in the lab. https://t.co/GFLIJKg7ip

@UofA entomologist Bruce Tabashnik, @UAEnto Department head and @BIO5 member has led his team to successfully eliminate pink bollworm from cotton, one of Arizona’s biggest crops. Learn more in his recent interview with @AZPM.

Looks like a fun start to the #Phenome2019 Conference. Always good to see @UofA Researchers in action! @AntinParker @UACALS @UAPlantSciences @UAEnto @UAresearch @CyVerseOrg

How do you gather up grasshoppers to keep them from eating crops🌾? Or program a machine to whack weeds without whacking lettuce plants🥬? Students are hard at work on these #biosystems questions for #UADesignDay19.
