Soil microbial community dynamics associated with agricultural crops
It could be argued that the sustainability of agriculture hinges on our ability to understand and manage the interactions that occur between agricultural crops and microbial communities that reside in the soil. Soil microbes ... -
Evaluation of factors that contribute to the expansion and control of brassica insect pests in Northern Colorado
Human modifications to landscapes in agricultural areas can both eliminate and create new habitat for various organisms. One of the ways that sites are modified is by creating changes in plant communities. These can occur ... -
Revision of Paralobesia (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and screening aid development for pest management
The moth genus Paralobesia consists of 18 described and several undescribed species. All but three are Nearctic, present in North America and northern Mexico, with P. andereggiana (Herrich-Schäffer) present in the Palearctic ... -
Endothall behavior in five aquatic weeds
Endothall is one of the original aquatic herbicides being primarily to control submersed plants since 1960. Endothall is considered a contact herbicide, in a chemical class of its own, it is a serine/threonine protein ... -
Genetics and genomics of herbicide resistant Kochia scoparia L., The
Weed genomics resources lag behind other plant biology disciplines despite larger annual crop losses occurring due to weeds than to plant pathogens or invertebrate pests. To date only a handful of weed genomes are assembled, ... -
Native Bee Watch : assessing the efficacy of a citizen science project monitoring native bees in Fort Collins, Colorado
As the world's human population continues to grow, urban areas continue to expand, and natural spaces become more fragmented leading to dilution and loss of natural resources. Of the organisms that depend on natural ... -
Interaction of free-living amoeba with rice bacterial and fungal pathogens, The
Free-living amoebae are ubiquitous microbes found in the soil and water across the globe. Amoebae live a predominantly heterotrophic lifestyle – preying on a variety of organisms including bacteria, fungi and even other ... -
Molecular genetics of herbicide resistance in Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) : metabolic tembotrione resistance and geographic origin of glyphosate resistance
Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is a major weed in U.S. cotton and soybean production systems, partly because it evolved resistance to five different herbicide modes of action. Resistance to the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate ... -
Holomorphology and systematics of the eastern Nearctic stonefly genus Remenus Ricker (Plecoptera: Perlodidae)
The holomorphology of the eastern Nearctic stonefly genus Remenus Ricker is reviewed using scanning electron microscopy, color photomicrographs and COI DNA barcodes. Examination of all life stages has resulted in new ... -
Exploiting rice diversity to uncover durable and broad-spectrum resistance
Rice is the staple food for human consumption and feeds over half the world's population. Major constraints towards a sustainable productivity of this cereal are losses caused by bacterial diseases, such as bacterial blight ... -
Phenotypic plasticity in the response of sorghum to water stress and recovery indicates pre-flowering drought tolerance

Lepidoptera of North America 15. Butterflies of southern California in 2018 : updating Emmel and Emmel's 1973 Butterflies of southern California
It has now been more than 44 years since Thomas C. Emmel and John F. Emmel's The Butterflies of Southern California was published on November 30, 1973. The Emmels' provided a history of previous leaders in gathering ... -
Lepidoptera of North America 14. Geometroidea : Geometridae: Larentiinae: Eupitheciini (Part)
This current version has been expanded to include all of the North Americanspecies of Eupithecia, as well as Nasusina and Prorella. Since this publication is still to some degree a work–in–progress, additional material ... -
Germination, emergence, and seed persistence of Panicum miliaceum L.
The effects of varying levels of temperature, moisture, and seed depth on wild proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) emergence were observed. The effects of depth and duration of seed burial and the effects of seed overwintering ... -
Chemical control of Cytospora leucostoma, a major limiting factor of peach production in western Colorado
Cytospora canker, Cytospora leucostoma, is a major limiting factor of peach production in Colorado, accounting for 15-20% of crop production loss annually. Given the unique environmental factors of the western slope region ... -
Information on emergent insect associated tree diseases including epidemiological studies of drippy blight disease of oak and thousand cankers disease of walnut
Two emergent disease complexes called drippy blight and thousand cankers have become injurious to hardwood trees in communities across the urban corridor of Colorado. In order to better understand these disease complexes, ... -
Understanding broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice : prompting a genome-wide uprising
Rice is the main staple food crop of the world, and thus, the detriments caused by rice diseases are a threat to international food security. The emergence of new virulent strains of pathogens can significantly reduce ... -
Response of desirable trees to aminocyclopyrachlor in the field and greenhouse
Aminocyclopyrachlor is a selective, plant growth regulator herbicide in the pyrimidine carboxylic acid family. Previously, aminocyclopyrachlor was marketed for turfgrass management but was withdrawn by the EPA in light of ... -
Studies on the management of the swallow bug, Oeciacus vicarius Horvath (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) and survival off its avian host
The swallow bug, Oeciacus vicarius Horvath is a common ectoparasite primarily associated with cliff swallows, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota (Vieillot). When the mud nests of the cliff swallows are constructed on homes and ... -
Sustainable management of non-native thistles on the Western Slope
The scope of this research is unique in that it encompasses all phases of the weed management process. From problem identification, to identifying and testing solutions, to implementing the solution in a real world ...
