Effects of Group Living on Pupation in a Lady Beetle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
To further understand the lives and development habits of insects, we must know how they influence each other through pupation periods. This will ultimately help us understand how interactive insects are throughout their life. To answer this question, we

Elucidation of the transmission patterns of an insect-borne bacterium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Quantitative data on modes of transmission are a crucial element in understanding the ecology of microorganisms associated with animals. We investigated the transmission patterns of a -proteobacterium informally known as pea aphid Bemisia-like symbiont ...

Linking Metabolomic Diversity to Pharmacological Potency in Anonidium mannii Leaf Extracts

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates the metabolomic profile and pharmacological activities of extracts from Anonidium mannii leaves. The extracts were profiled using an integrated LC‐MS/GC‐MS, and evaluated for antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities, providing a basis for future studies and validation in more advanced biological models.

Aphid honeydew: An arrestant and a contact kairomone for Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) larvae and adults

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Predator searching efficiency increases in response to a variety of environmental cues associated with its prey. The sugary excretion of aphids (honeydew) has been found to act as a prey-associated cue for many aphid natural enemies. In the present study,

Plant‐Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.

Determination of Feeding Performance of Mustard Aphid, Lipaphis Erysimi (Kalt) on different Mustard Varieties at Water Stress Condition

open access: yesFundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2018
The more feeding of plant sap by aphid, the more secretion of honeydew. Determination of the amount of honeydew secreted by aphids in a specific crop variety is one of the best ways to assess the susceptibility of aphid infestation to the variety.

The Antibacterial Potential of Honeydew Honey Produced by Stingless Bee (Heterotrigona itama) against Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Scientific studies about the antibacterial effects of honeydew honey produced by the stingless bee are very limited. In this study, the antibacterial activities of 46 blossom and honeydew honeys produced by both honey bees and stingless bees were ...

A Population-Based Surveillance Study of Shared Genotypes of Escherichia coli Isolates from Retail Meat and Suspected Cases of Urinary Tract Infections. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
There is increasing evidence that retail food may serve as a source of Escherichia coli that causes community-acquired urinary tract infections, but the impact of this source in a community is not known. We conducted a prospective, population-based study

Non‐ Conventional Agents Enhance Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum) Defense against Aphis Gossypii, Thrips Tabaci, and Their Predators Chrysoperla Carnea and Orius Insidiosus

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A study conducted in Egypt evaluated the effectiveness of chemical and microbial agents in enhancing sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum) defenses against major pests Aphis gossypii and Thrips tabaci and their natural predators, Chrysoperla carnea and Orius insidiosus. Five foliar treatments were tested under greenhouse conditions during
