Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes
Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1958 1. Most of the bees which drift do so during their orientation flights and before they become regular foragers.2. Bees emerging in August and September drift less than those emerging earlier in the year.3. Drifting varies considerably in different circumstances, and may be extensive.4. Drones drift two to three times as frequently as workers.5.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications
Insect Science, EarlyView.The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

First molecular detection of Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (CBPV) in Iran
Archives of Razi Institute, 2015 Among the viruses infecting honey bees, chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) is known to induce significant losses in honey bee colonies. CBPV is an unclassified polymorphic single stranded RNA virus. Using RT-PCR, the virus infections in honey bees can be

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Modern ecological management problems are characterized by large scales, rapid environmental change, multiple stressors and conflicts between local and global conservation objectives. These problems are too complex to address with field studies alone, and statistical models that assume past system behaviours can predict future responses are ...

Beyond medicine: A proof of concept for synergy analysis in ecotoxicology
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Interactive effects among chemicals, such as synergism and antagonism, are increasingly studied in ecotoxicology and environmental research. However, these interactions are often assessed using a biased, point‐wise approach that overlooks dose‐dependent effects.

Influence of nano-polystyrene on cyfluthrin toxicity in honeybee Apis cerana cerana Fabricius
Ecotoxicology and Environmental SafetyPlastics and pesticides are commonly used and often coexist in the environment. As pollinating insects, honeybees are simultaneously exposed to both these toxins. However, there has been no study on the toxic effects of nano-polystyrene plastics (nanoPS)
