Effect of temperature on growth and development of rice weevil [Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)] on polished rice

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), a major storage pest, cause both qualitative and quantitative losses of stored grains. Normally, chemical insecticide along with fumigation is practiced for the management, but it creates health hazards.

Attack density negatively affects reproductive success but not fecundity or offspring body size in a bark beetle

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 76-81, February 2026.
Neither gallery length nor eggs per female varied significantly with attack density, suggesting P. proximus adults disregard galleries constructed by conspecifics and continue to lay eggs irrespective of attack density. Number of adult offspring per female decreased significantly as attack density increased, indicating that intraspecific competition ...

Temporal associations between ambrosia beetles and ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) artificially inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 49-60, February 2026.
Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can
