A team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen has uncovered how beetles survive in dry climates – information that can help target the pest instead of using pesticides.
Scientists have figured out how beetles stay hydrated in a discovery that could prevent the pests from destroying crops.
"[Beetles] have a very special lifestyle that essentially allows them to complete their entire life cycle without drinking," Kenneth Veland Halberg, a biologist who led the research, told CTV's Your Morning on Monday."We wanted to get to the bottom of how that actually is possible for them." To do this, the team looked at red-flour beetles, which have similar biology to other beetle species.
