Agricultural pests consumed by common bat species in the United States corn belt: The importance of DNA primer choice

2020-11-01

Abstract excerpt

To meet growing global food demand, producers are actively searching for ways tocrop yield. One way to boost yield is to reduce arthropod damage. However, insecticides are becoming less effective and can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Learning how to harness natural pest control is one way to reduce arthropod damage to crops and avoid adverse effects of insecticide use. Therefore, we...
