SGA (farm)
Stored Grain Advisor (SGA) is a decision support system for managing insect pests of farm-stored wheat. The program predicts the likelihood of insect infestation, and recommends appropriate preventative actions . It also provides advice on how to sample and identify insect pests of stored wheat. SGA Pro was designed for use in commercial elevators as part of the Areawide IPM Project for stored grain. Grain samples are taken with a vacuum probe and processed over an inclined sieve. SGA Pro analyzes the insect data, grain temperatures and moistures, and determines which bins need to be fumigated.
Data from: Long-lasting insecticide treated netting affects reproductive output and mating behavior in Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Trogoderma variabile (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)
Reproductive output and behavioral data from stored-product pest insects exposed to long-lasting insecticide treated netting. Includes offspring output and survival for Trogoderma variabile (treated as larvae) and Tribolium castaneum (treated as adults).

Data from: Annual Compensation for Floral Herbivory by an Iterocarpic Thistle
We tested the extent to which reproductive effort by an iterocarpic native thistle provided within-season tolerance for insect floral herbivory through plant response to apical damage. We imposed apical damage and used insecticide to reduce herbivory damage to manipulate plant response and potential outcomes in reproductive compensation. Data include: 1) detailed size and fecundity data per plant individual under different treatments; and 2) insect damage score and seeds produced per individual flower head.
Data from: Effectiveness of Long-Lasting Insecticide Netting on Tribolium castaneum is Modulated by Multiple Exposures, Biotic, and Abiotic Factors
Response of *Tribolium castaneum* to exposure to long-lasting insecticide treated netting (LLIN).

Data from: Genome of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), a worldwide parasite of social bee colonies, provides insights into detoxification and herbivory
The small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, ATUMI) is an invasive parasite of bee colonies. ATUMI feeds on both fruits and bee nest products, facilitating its spread and increasing its impact on honey bees and other pollinators. The ATUMI genome has been sequenced and annotated, providing the first genomic resources for this species and for the Nitidulidae.
Data from: The assembled transcriptome of the adult horn fly, Haematobia irritans
To better understand the adult horn fly, *Haematobia irritans irritans*, and the development of resistance in natural populations, an Illumina paired-end read HiSeq and GAII approach was used to determine the transcriptomes of untreated control adult females, untreated control adult males, permethrin-treated surviving adult males and permethrin + piperonyl butoxide-treated killed adult males from a Louisiana population of horn flies with a moderate level of pyrethroid resistance.
Data from: Pyrosequencing-Based Analysis of the Microbiome Associated with the Horn Fly, Haematobia irritans
The bacterial 16S tag-encoded FLX-titanium amplicon pyrosequencing (bTEFAP) method was used to carry out the classification analysis of bacterial flora in adult female and male horn flies and horn fly eggs. The bTEFAP method identified 16S rDNA sequences in our samples which allowed the identification of various prokaryotic taxa associated with the life stage examined. This is the first comprehensive report of bacterial flora associated with the horn fly using a culture-independent method. Several rumen, environmental, symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria associated with the horn fly were identified and quantified. This is the first report of the presence of Wolbachia in horn flies of USA origin and is the first report of the presence of Rikenella in an obligatory blood feeding insect.
