A new insect boring in fossil wood from the Iranian Upper Cretaceous

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Here we describe Iranichnus farsensis igen. et isp. nov., a bioerosion trace in fossil wood characterized by a system of sinuous channels in the wood under the bark, also bearing small borings radially oriented within the channels. We attributed this to insects, most probably a beetle from one of the groups known to feed on wood just under the

Pairing Residual Contact Insecticide Use With Long‐Lasting Insecticide‐Incorporated Netting to Reduce Dispersal and Damage by Stored Product Insects

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 501-514, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Long‐lasting insecticide‐incorporated netting (LLIN) can intercept insects and has shown promise for pest management before and after harvest in agriculture. Understanding how to incorporate LLIN into existing integrated pest management (IPM) programs, with other commonly used tactics like residual contact insecticides, can significantly ...

Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.
We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

Trait‐dependent plasticity erodes rapidly with repeated intergenerational acclimation in an invasive agricultural pest

Physiological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 202-215, September 2024.
Single acute heat acclimations were repeated at 35°C and 38°C for adult P. truncatus parents, F1 and F2; thermal and ecological traits were assessed in each generation. Acute acclimation responses were trait dependant, whereas critical thermal limits were ramping rate dependant.

Applying biogeochemistry to identify the geographic origins of insects - a model using prostephanus truncatus [PDF]

, 2016
"The application of geochemical screening for tracking insects and other organisms is poorly understood. We explored multi-elemental profiles of an insect pest and its food from different locations in order to identify intrinsic markers of geographic ...
