Wireworms in Florida Sugarcane
Wireworms, the larval stage of a click beetle, often cause severe damage to numerous crops in Florida. At least twelve species of wireworms have been found in southern Florida, but only the corn wireworm, Melanotus communis, is considered to cause ...

Mating order and remating of females by males with different endosymbiont associations strongly shape Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility, female fitness and offspring sex ratio. An incompatible first mating was weakly affected if followed by a compatible mating and vice versa, indicating strong first‐male sperm precedence with consequences ...

Fossil Genera in Elateridae (Insecta, Coleoptera): A Triassic Origin and Jurassic Diversification
Insect fossils bear important information about the evolutionary history of the group. The fossil record of Elateridae, a large cosmopolitan beetle family, has been greatly understudied and the available data are often replete with ambiguity and ...

To the knowledge of the fauna of click-beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of south of European Russia and the Caucasus [PDF]
New data on distribution of some rare and little-known click-beetles in the south of European Russia and the Caucasus are given. Dalopius radiculosus Gurjeva, 1964, Haterumelater fulvago (Marseul, 1868), Betarmon bisbimaculatus (Fabricius, 1803 ...

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

Darkling beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus) and their larvae as potential vectors for the transfer of Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella enterica serovar paratyphi B variant Java between successive broiler flocks [PDF]
Broiler flocks often become infected with Campylobacter and Salmonella, and the exact contamination routes are still not fully understood. Insects like darkling beetles and their larvae may play a role in transfer of the pathogens between consecutive ...

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress
Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.
