• Validation of a nested error component model to estimate damage caused by corn rootworm larvae (2013, background): “The western and northern corn rootworms are the primary species that threaten maize production in the Midwest (Spencer et al. 2009).”
• Estimating Diabrotica virgifera virgifera damage functions with field trial data: applying an unbalanced nested error component model (2009, background): “Because corn rootworms typically lay eggs only in existing maize fields, crop rotation has been an effective and widely used control strategy in the USA Corn Belt (Spencer et al. 2009) and Europe (Boriani et al. 2006).”
• Sequence of arrival determines plant‐mediated interactions between herbivores (2011, background): “D . virgifera, as a highly specialized herbivore , has been shown to be very responsive to specific root metabolites (Spencer et al. , 2009, Bernklau and Bjostad, 2008), and future experiments will aim at characterizing the behavior and feeding pattern of root herbivores in the presence of…”
• Field-Evolved Resistance to Bt Maize by Western Corn Rootworm (2011, background): “Western corn rootworm appears to have low rates of dispersal, typically traveling less than 40 m per day, although long-distance dispersal is possible [30,31].”
• Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) population dynamics (2009, background): “There is evidence that young mated females may be particularly prone to engage in long-distance dispersal ( Coats et al. , 1986; Isard et al. , 2004; Spencer et al. , 2009 ), and maximum rates of range expansion documented in North America are around 200 km/year as evidenced by infestations well…”
