Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Plant volatiles mediate host discrimination and host finding in phytophagous insects. Understanding how insects recognize these signals is a current challenge in chemical ecology research. Pear ester, ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate, is a powerful, bisexual

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Mothbox and Mothbot: Automated light trap and data processing system for scalable insect monitoring
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Insects represent the most diverse group of organisms on Earth and comprise the majority of known species; yet they are seldom accounted for in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring systems and conservation planning. We have developed the Mothbox—an open source automated light trap that makes insect monitoring accessible to non‐specialists and ...

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article offers a critical conceptual review of age assessments in England and examines their implications for unaccompanied asylum‐seeking children (UASC). Drawing on Foucault's theories of biopower and governmentality, age assessments are conceptualied as technologies of control that set the parameters for who is deemed ‘deserving’ of ...

New insecticides against orange tortrix tested on apples near Watsonville
California Agriculture, 1960 The orange tortrix on apples in California usually has been controlled satisfactorily by the use of TDE in the codling moth schedule of treatments. However, the recent increase in cases of codling moth resistance to TDE—and to DDT—has caused some growers

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We evaluated Lasiocampa quercus as an overwintering host for the koinobiont larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae by exposing parasitized larvae to different environmental conditions and comparing parasitoid development with that in the primary host Lymantria dispar.

California Agriculture, 1953 DDT is the most effective and economically feasible material to use for the control of the codling moth on walnuts in southern California. It has been used successfully under a variety of conditions for a number of years in the field. At present there is
