“…Depending on the type of host and environmental conditions, the RPW could produce eggs four times annually. The details of the weevil morphology and life cycle have been studied by many authors [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…The first is the pre-pupal stage, which lasts for three days, during which the pupa is approximately 25 to 35 mm in size. In the second pupal period, which takes from 12 to 20 days, the pupa initially transforms from a cream to brownish color [ 9 ]. As its development progresses, it forms a shiny surface that is greatly furrowed and reticulated.…”

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its relevance, the biology of the RPW remains poorly understood, and research on management strategies often focuses on outdated empirical methods that produce sub-optimal results.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.

“…There have been numerous research studies and efforts in the literature devoted to managing and controlling the spread of red palm weevil pests, including detecting the presence of RPW pests in palm trunks using acoustic signal processing [ 3 ], optical distributed sensing [ 4 , 5 ], high power microwave sensing and thermal heating treatment procedures [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], among other techniques. The research work in [ 4 ] presented a technique for monitoring and detecting RPWs by using optical-fiber-distributed acoustic sensing probes.…”

This paper presents for the first time the design of a microwave sensing setup for the potential monitoring and identification of red palm weevil (RPW) gender type. The microwave sensor consists of a planar two-port transmission line (TL) with a single complementary split-ring resonant (CSRR) inclusion etched from the bottom metallic layer. The CSRR sensor is placed on top of a customized non-conductive container. The microwave sensing setup was designed, numerically demonstrated, fabricated and tested experimentally. Simulated results correlate quite well with the experimental data. Moreover, the sensitivity of the CSRR sensor when in close proximity to different RPW genders was evaluated both numerically and experimentally. Based on the measured results from 15 RPW samples with different body sizes, different RPW gender types showed unique microwave signatures. A notable shift in the sensor’s resonance frequency was achieved, where on average a resonant frequency shift of 10% for adult RPWs was achieved, while a 2.4% frequency change was obtained for larvae (young) RPWs. Hence, the proposed microwave sensing setup can be adopted in field trials to examine and differentiate between various RPW genders at various developmental stages.
