Arthropod predators in cabbage (cruciferae) and their potential as naturally occurring biological control agents for pieris rapae (lepidoptera: pieridae)
TL;DR: It is shown that only a small portion of the predatory arthropod species that occur in cabbage fields is likely to prey on Pieris rapae on the plants, although important questions remain about the roles of some taxa.
Species Composition and Phenology of Thysanoptera within Field Crops Adjacent to Cabbage Fields
Anthony M. Shelton,R. C. North +1 more
TL;DR: By sampling the thrips populations within the foliage and utilizing sticky traps to monitor aerial populations, this work may be able to predict the population buildup within these crops and the subsequent movement of thrips to adjacent crops.

TL;DR: The best opportunities for GM vegetables and fruits are in developing countries where 83% of the world’s population lives, the majority of vegetables andruits are produced and pest problems are most acute.
Post-mating interactions and their effects on fitness of female and male Echinothrips americanus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a new insect pest in China.
TL;DR: The results revealed that the re-mating frequency in female adults was extremely low during a 30-day period, however, post- mating interactions between females and males did occur and significantly reduced female longevity and fecundity, and increased access to males did not affect the ratio of female offspring.
Distribution of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Egg Masses and Larvae on Sweet Corn in New York
TL;DR: Studies in commercial sweet corn fields in upstate New York indicated that distribution of egg masses and larvae throughout a field was essentially random with no evidence to support the hypothesis that eggs were preferentially laid near field borders where mating and resting of female adults occurred.
