• Estimating Diabrotica virgifera virgifera damage functions with field trial data: applying an unbalanced nested error component model (2009, background): “In addition, the western corn rootworm soybean variant has developed the behavioural adaptation of laying eggs in soybeans and other crops as a form of adaptation to crop rotation (Levine et al. 2002).”
• Coordinated Diabrotica Genetics Research: Accelerating Progress on an Urgent Insect Pest Problem (2006, background): “…strategies (Levine and Oloumi-Sadeghi 1991), but the western corn rootworm is becoming increasingly difficult to control because of its sequential ability to evolve resistance to almost all management strategies that have been used (Meinke et al. 1998, Wright et al. 2000, Levine et al. 2002).”
• Field-Evolved Resistance to Bt Maize by Western Corn Rootworm (2011, background): “Examples include the evolution of resistance to conventional insecticides and the cultural practice of crop rotation [13,14,15].”
• Transgenic rootworm corn: assessing potential agronomic, economic, and environmental benefits. (2004, background): “Western corn rootworm adults leave corn to lay eggs in soybean fields that may be planted to corn the following year (20).”
• Behaviour and ecology of the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) (2009, methodology): “High WCR abundance in first-year and continuous maize, along with high populations and a female biased sex ratio outside of maize fields are characteristic of areas where rotation resistance is present ( O’Neal et al. , 1999; Levine et al. , 2002; Schroeder et al. , 2005; Spencer et al. , 2005 ).”
• Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) population dynamics (2009, methodology): “The latter phenomenon leads to an economically significant level of oviposition outside of maize by the ‘WCR variant’ ( Levine et al. , 2002 ).”
• Eight principles of integrated pest management (2015, background): “damage in maize following soybean crops (Levine and Oloumi-Sadeghi 1996; Gray et al. 1998; Levine et al. 2002).”
