Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.Using extensive searching, habitat suitability models, and minimum convex polygons, our paper presents the B. chinensis invasion and establishment of supercolonies at multiple sites across GSMNP. Our suitability models suggest moderate B. chinensis invasion potential for a large portion of the park, and we suggest that human disturbance has facilitated

A new class of insecticide for malaria vector control: evaluation of mosquito nets treated singly with indoxacarb (oxadiazine) or with a pyrethroid mixture against Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus. [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Universal coverage with long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LLIN) or indoor residual spraying (IRS) of houses remain the primary strategies for the control of mosquito vectors of malaria.

Node-by-node disassembly of a mutualistic interaction web driven by species introductions [PDF]
, 2013 Interaction webs summarize the diverse interactions among species in communities. The addition or loss of particular species and the alteration of key interactions can lead to the disassembly of the entire interaction web, although the nontrophic effects

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 4863-4870, October 2024.The current study evaluated the trap–treat–release technique for controlling field populations of the eastern yellowjacket, Vespula maculifrons. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that fipronil is highly effectively against V. maculifrons across a wide range of concentrations.

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 5131-5140, October 2024.Co‐encapsulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Metarhizium brunneum interacted beneficially but also competed for resources. Depending on the composition of beads, steep oxygen gradients with internal hypoxic zones and temporary severe acidification occurred.

Quantifying the role of termite decomposition in a mesic savanna
Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 4, July 2024.Savanna ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate and land‐use changes yet lack precise assessments of carbon cycling. In a large‐scale termite suppression experiment, we found that termites accounted for two thirds of the mass loss from dry wood and a third of the mass loss from fresh native wood, dry dung, and dry grass.
