Thirty-three teneral Colorado potato beetle males were provided with non-transgenic foliage for 8 d, another 33 males were provided with non-transgenic foliage for 4 days, and then switched to transgenic foliage for another 4 d, and the remaining 33 males were provided with transgenic foliage for 8 days and then mated to females continuously fed […]

Mating behavior of post-diapause Colorado potato beetles, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), was observed within an overwintering site, a rotated potato field, newly colonized potato plants, and under laboratory conditions. The influence of spring mating on beetle flight in the presence and in the absence of host plants was investigated using a computer-linked flight mill system. Diapause was terminated
