Characterization of the Buccula, Rostrum, Stridulatory Sulcus, Scutellum, and External Female Genitalia of Triatoma carcavalloi (Jurberg, Rocha & Lent, 1998), Triatoma circummaculata (Stål, 1859), and Triatoma rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2019
In Brazil, Triatoma rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843) is the most important species in epidemiological terms in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, due to its wide geographical distribution in this state, followed by T.

HOST MATTER: Parasite infection drives chemical reconfiguration of decomposing host and shapes insect behavioural responses

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host–parasite interactions shape ecosystems by driving species dynamics, yet their influence is typically considered in terms of host mortality rather than the chemical environments generated during infection and decomposition.

The feeding ecology of certain larvae in the genus tipula (Tipulidae, Diptera), with special reference to their utilisation of Bryophytes [PDF]

, 1993
Bryophytes are rarely used as a food source by any animal species, but the genus Tipula (Diptera, Tipulidae) contains some of the few insect species able to feed, and complete their life-cycle, on bryophytes.

Pollinator community composition and pollen resource use in calcareous grasslands under different landscape contexts across Europe

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...

The development of a lure and kill system for control of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

, 2012
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a polyphagous pest of global economic importance. As a result, many systems have been proposed to reduce their impact and population spread, each of which has its ...

The effect of repellents Ocimum forskolei and deet on the response of Anopheles stephensi to host odours.

, 2006
The behavioural response of Anopheles stephensi Liston (Diptera: Culicidae) to incubated host odours (from human and goat) and to human odour in combination with a repellent plant, Ocimum forskolei (Labiatae), or deet (N, N, diethyl-toluamide) (20%) was ...

Field validation of blow fly age estimation methods for determining time of placement of human remains in Tennessee, USA

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology currently represents one of the best approaches for estimating the minimum postmortem interval (PMIMIN) in medicolegal death investigations given certain parameters and assumptions are met. However, validation of standard estimation methods used in this field are few and far between.
