“…All RNAi/CRISPR techniques could also benefit from improved reference genomes and some knowledge of the genetics of invasive RPW populations. To this day, population genetics of the RPW are restricted to the use of a single/few markers, mostly mitochondrial genes and microsatellite loci [ 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 ]. In this context, whole-genome sequencing of multiple field-collected individuals from diverse locations would be an important step toward understanding RPW population history and genetic diversity.…”

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is the most devastating pest of palm trees worldwide. Mitigation of the economic and biodiversity impact it causes is an international priority that could be greatly aided by a better understanding of its biology and genetics. Despite its relevance, the biology of the RPW remains poorly understood, and research on management strategies often focuses on outdated empirical methods that produce sub-optimal results. With the development of omics approaches in genetic research, new avenues for pest control are becoming increasingly feasible. For example, genetic engineering approaches become available once a species’s target genes are well characterized in terms of their sequence, but also population variability, epistatic interactions, and more. In the last few years alone, there have been major advances in omics studies of the RPW. Multiple draft genomes are currently available, along with short and long-read transcriptomes, and metagenomes, which have facilitated the identification of genes of interest to the RPW scientific community. This review describes omics approaches previously applied to RPW research, highlights findings that could be impactful for pest management, and emphasizes future opportunities and challenges in this area of research.

“…Proposed Weevil Damage Optimization Algorithm (WDOA) mimics fly power, snout power, damage power, and their movement toward the food source of weevils which is the inspiration source of this paper. Weevils are pest insects and from the superfamily of Curculionoidea containing 97,000 species (Abdel-Baky et al, 2022). Some species are more famous for their reproduction and damage power for crops (wheat, oats, rye, barley, rice and corn) such as wheat weevil, maize weevil, and boll weevils (Abdel-Baky et al, 2022) which are at the center of attention in this research.…”

Weevils are a type of insect with elongated snouts coming from superfamily of Curculionoidea with approximately 97,000 species. Most of them consider pest and cause environmental damages but some kinds like wheat weevil, maize weevil, and boll weevils are famous to cause huge damage on crops, especially cereal grains. This research proposes a novel swarm-based metaheuristics algorithm called Weevil Damage Optimization Algorithm (WDOA) which mimics weevils’ fly power, snout power, and damage power on crops or agricultural products. The proposed algorithm is tested with 12 benchmark unimodal and multimodal artificial landscapes or optimization test functions. Additionally, the proposed WDOA is employed in five engineering problems to check its robustness for problem solving. Problems are Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), n-Queens problem, portfolio problem, Optimal Inventory Control (OIC) problem, and Bin Packing Problem (BPP). All tests’ functions are compared with widely used benchmark algorithms of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Harmony Search (HS) algorithm, Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), Firefly Algorithm (FA), and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Also, all problems are tested with DE, FA, and HS algorithms. The Proposed algorithm showed robustness and speed on all functions and problems by providing precision alongside with reasonable speed.
