A Dynamic Threshold Approach for Tarnished Plant Bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) Management in the Midsouthern U.S. Cotton.

One of the most economically important pests of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the midsouth region of the United States is the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois, Hemiptera: Miridae). Tarnished plant bug populations across the region have exhibited widespread resistance to numerous insecticide classes.

Physical Activity is Associated with Percent Body Fat and Body Composition but not Body Mass Index in White and Black College Students.

The objective of this study was to examine the association of self-reported physical activity (PA) with body composition in 290 college students (49% male, 60% White) 18-25 years of age. Outcome measures included: self-reported PA levels calculated in MET-hrs·wk from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); body mass index (BMI; in kg·m); and body composition variables estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Mean activity levels of the sample were 39.
