Seasonal Variation of Butterfly Diversity in Subtropical Urban Forests of Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Butterflies show seasonal fluctuations in diversity and population in response to bioclimatic factors. Studying butterflies in three urban forests in the subtropical region of Nepal, we found that the diversity and community composition differed significantly across seasons, with richness and diversity peaking during the monsoon and abundance peaking ...

Trapped honey bees reduce floral visitation on milkweed flowers

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Trapped arthropods have been shown to benefit plants in several ways, but few studies have examined the potential costs of arthropod entanglement. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) have an unusual pollination system that requires relatively large packets of pollen (pollinia) to become attached to the appendages of insect pollinators and be pulled ...

Effects of imidacloprid, indoxacarb and endosulfan on egg, third-instar larva and pupa of green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea (Neu.: Chrysopidae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2011
The common green lacewing is a known biocontrol agent because of its wide geographical distribution, high compatibility with different agricultural systems, high searching ability and ease of rearing.

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Do field margins matter more than floral resources? Arthropod activity and limited spillover of natural enemies from perennial flower strips into adjacent crops

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Both flower and grass strips supported significantly higher arthropod activity than adjacent crop fields, underlining the general ecological value of field margins regardless of floral composition. The observed group‐specific responses emphasize the need for taxa‐specific analyses within heterogeneous functional groups, rather than relying solely on ...

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Lethal and sublethal effects of dinotefuran and thiamethoxam on the population growth parameters of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Neu.: Chrysopidae), under laboratory conditions [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2013
The green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), is a common natural enemy of various agricultural pestsand widely used as a biocontrol agent in integrated pest management (IPM) programs. The lethal and sublethal effects of the insecticides dinotefuran

Efficacy of Clearflow Treatment Technologies in the Treatment of Mining Effluent: Field‐Level Testing at a Coal Mine

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining waste water characteristically contains high concentrations of suspended solids, total metals, and nutrients. These can be treated with flocculants within settling ponds to speed up the clarification of water by settling out the suspended solids.
