Segmentation techniques in X-ray images for the analysis of mango stem boring insects [PDF]
, 2014 Mango plants are generally affected by various pests. The stem borer is a very harmful pest as its grub feeds on the internal parts of the tree leaving very little external evidence of damage to the host plant.

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2008 Inclusions of wood debris loosened from pine-like trees are abundant in Baltic amber of Eocene and Oligocene age. The possibilities to find insect frass and excrement among wood debris are outlined and some examples are given. Comparison with the frass and excrement produced by present-day insects provide a possibility to identify insects even though ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ten timbers from the spire scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral were dated using a combination of ring‐width dendrochronology, stable oxygen isotopic dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Seven timbers were coeval and assigned a combined empirical felling date range of 1352–1378, which was further refined to 1351–1359 (OxCal 95.4%).

Amendment of Potting Soil With Black Soldier Fly Byproducts Affects Fungus Gnat Development
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.The study's three experiments were conducted in accordance with the development stages of fungus gnats, with adults emerging from the four treatment substrates and being caught on sticky cards as a common indicator. The treatments were formed from peat‐free potting soil, either pure or supplemented with combinations of byproducts from black soldier fly

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Manure treatment with black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and BSFL frass application in crop land is a sustainable strategy; however, whether residual antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their transmission risk are related to the manure BSFL treatment ...

Dynamics of short- and long-term association between a bacterial plant pathogen and its arthropod vector [PDF]
, 2014 The dynamics of association between pathogens and vectors can strongly influence epidemiology. It has been proposed that wilt disease epidemics in cucurbit populations are sustained by persistent colonization of beetle vectors (Acalymma vittatum) by the ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.
