- 1New method decodes insect sexual communication for crop protection●Crop protection: A new method for understanding insect sexual communication

The announcement, reported by Phys.org, offers a research tool rather than a finished product, and could eventually support pest-control strategies such as mating disruption that reduce reliance on chemical insecticides.
