Insect biological control of the tomato‐potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli, a review
ABSTRACT The tomato‐potato psyllid (TPP) Bactericera cockerelli is a polyphagous herbivore and a renowned pest of solanaceous crops found in America and the Pacific region. Over the last fifteen years, several strategies have been tested worldwide to successfully manage this species, but these have been mostly unsuccessful.

The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

Review of Hemerobiidae (Insecta:Neuroptera) from Egypt, with a new record [PDF]
The Egyptian fauna of family Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera) is reviewed. Three species belonging to two genera; Wesmaelius (Kimminsia) navasi (Andreu, 1911), Wesmaelius (Kimminsia) nervosus (Fabricius, 1793) and Sympherobius (Sympherobius) fallax Navas, 1908 are recognized, with the first species is a new record for the Neuroptera fauna of Egypt.

Hemerobiidae from Deceit Island: the Southernmost Neuroptera in the Americas
ABSTRACT The Neuropteran fauna on the most meridional part of South America is relatively scarce. Two families, Hemerobiidae and Coniopterigydae, have been recorded so far. Accordingly, only a few species have reached the south of Tierra del Fuego. Currently, the southernmost records of these species, Hemerobius chilensis Nakahara, 1965 and Megalomus ...

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Insight into higher-level phylogeny of Neuropterida: Evidence from secondary structures of mitochondrial rRNA genes and mitogenomic data. [PDF]
It is well known that the rRNA structure information is important to assist phylogenetic analysis through identifying homologous positions to improve alignment accuracy. In addition, the secondary structure of some conserved motifs is highly stable among

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
