Comparing Host Plant Resistance, Engineered Resistance, and Insecticide Treatment for Control of Colorado Potato Beetle and Potato Leafhopper in Potatoes by Gerald M. Ghidiu, David S. Douches, Kimberly J. Felcher, Joseph J. Coombs

“…The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) Order Coleoptera and the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris) Order Homoptera, are the major insect pests of potato in eastern North America. In two years of field trials, we compared the effectiveness of three pest management options for the control of Colorado potato beetle and potato leafhopper: natural host plant resistance (glandular trichomes), engineered resistance (Bacillus thuringiensis [Bt] Berliner cry3A gene) and a susceptible potato cultivar (Superior) with an at-planting application of the insecticide thiamethoxam. …”

Occurrence of Anticyclonic Tornadoes in a Topographically Complex Region of Mexico by Noel Carbajal, José F. León-Cruz, Luis F. Pineda-Martínez, José Tuxpan-Vargas, Juan H. Gaviño-Rodríguez

“…Data collected (from Internet videos) on the rotation of tornadoes formed in this region showed that about 50% of them rotated in a clockwise direction, contradicting tornado statistics for most of North America. Time series of the helicity parameter showed that tornadoes formed in topographically complex areas exhibited different behaviours compared to those formed in plains that are related with supercell systems.…”
