The beetle has a few natural parasites and predators, but they’ve only been found to control less than 10% of beetle population.

This beetle is used in North America as a biological pest control agent against saltcedar or tamarisk (Tamarix spp.), an invasive species in arid and semiarid ecosystems (where D. carinulata and its closely related sibling species are also less accurately referred to as the 'saltcedar beetle', 'saltcedar leaf beetle', 'salt cedar leaf beetle ...
The SoTB was first described from Minab, Iran as the subspecies Diorhabda carinulata meridionalis Berti and Rapilly (1973). Tracy and Robbins (2009) recognized Diorhabda meridionalis Berti and Rapilly as a separate species from Diorhabda carinulata (Desbrochers) based on comparisons of the male and female genitalia, and provided illustrated taxonomic keys separating the SoTB from the four ...
The MSU Enviroweather station located at Applewood Orchards south of Deerfield has recorded 1117.7 grow degree day (heat units [base 50ºF]) since April 1, compared to 847 GDD last year and a five ...
Many authors prefer to call them seed-beetles or bean beetles, because they are not true weevils, and because in most species, the larvae develop inside seeds, particularly beans. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Because Bruchinae was known as the family Bruchidae until the 1990s, [ 1 ] they are sometimes still called bruchid beetles.
