Urban Entomology Highlights From 2020—Monitoring and Control of Urban Pests [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021 Abstract Pest management professionals aim to answer two primary questions for their customers: 1) ‘Where/What is the pest?’ and 2) ‘How do I kill it?’. These two questions drive at the core of any pest management program. 2020 was an exciting year for entomology research, with much work being done on novel technologies and methods for ...

Applied Spectroscopy ReviewsRaman spectroscopy is a rapid, noninvasive and sensitive method for analyzing the chemical composition and structure of various sample types. Over the last thirty years, this method has been used widely in entomology, from insect taxonomy to the detection of pest infestations in plants. This review describes the historical and contemporary applications

Two odorant receptors regulate 1-octen-3-ol induced oviposition behavior in the oriental fruit fly
Communications Biology, 2023 Gravid female fruit flies show a strong preference to 1-octen-3-ol, a volatile compound from mango. Two odorant receptors are shown to regulate 1- octen-3-ol induced oviposition behaviour.
