Writing in the journal Frontiers in Zoology today (Wednesday 26 march) the scientists trained a group of goats to retrieve food from a box using a linked sequence of steps;
However new research from entomologists at the University of Maryland suggests that the traps may actually increase stink bug damage to tomatoes.
The research will appear in the April issue of Environmental Entomology. The researchers asked 15 gardeners to place stink bug traps at the ends of rows of tomatoes while another group of 14 placed no traps in their gardens.
The recent work is led by Phd student Philippa Gullett and Dr Karl Evans from Sheffield in collaboration with Rob Robinson from The british Trust for Ornithology.

#Entomologists update definitions to tackle resistance to biotech crops, pesticidesresistance to pesticides has now been recorded in nearly a thousand pest species including more than 500 insects 218 weeds and 190 fungi that attack plants.
To address this issue five entomologists from the University of Arizona and Michigan State university updated definitions for 50 key terms related to resistance in a new article in the Journal of Economic Entomology.
The lack of a modern glossary for resistance was brought recently to our attention by an initiative of the U s. Environmental protection agency (EPA) seeking input on definitions of terms about resistance said Dr. Mark Whalon one of the co-authors from Michigan State university
and head of the entomology department at the University of Arizona. Nearly five years later the resistance has spread
Dr. Devi Stuart-Fox and Jennifer Goode both of the Zoology Department at the University of Melbourne Australia attempted to determine what was more important in driving courtship:
