Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...

Seroprevalence and risk factors for infection with Bartonella bacilliformis in Loja province, Ecuador

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2018
The seroprevalence and epidemiology of Bartonella bacilliformis infection in the Andean highlands of Ecuador is largely unknown. We conducted a sero-epidemiologic survey of 319 healthy children aged 1–15 years living in six rural, mountain communities in

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Offspring Dependency Is Not Reflected in the Social Immunity of Three Burying Beetle Species

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 625-638, July 2026.
Nicrophorus pustulatus, Nicrophorus vespilloides, and Nicrophorus orbicollis are three burying beetle species that differ both in their ecology and in the dependency of their offspring on parental care. This gradient of offspring dependency might be reflected in the parents' social immunity capabilities and/or investment.

Fungicidal Activity and In Silico Studies of Triazoles Derived From Glycerol Against Neocosmospora falciformis, A Causal Agent of Guava Tree Decline

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
Among seventeen 1,2,3‐triazoles synthetized from glycerol (4a–4q), compound 4l completely inhibited mycelial growth and eliminated N. falciformis spores at 1,000 µg/mL, exhibiting enhanced antifungalactivity and strong binding within the FsCYP51 active site, which highlights its promise as a lead candidate for antifungal development in both biological ...

Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.
