Insects Associated With Butternut and Butternut Canker in Minnesota and Wisconsin [PDF]
, 2018 Butternut, Juglans cinerea, is being killed throughout its native range in North America by the fungus Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum. In addition to rain splashed spores, it is thought that the fungus may have spread over long distances to ...

Conservation of transcriptional elements in the obligate symbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Bacterial symbiosis is widespread in arthropods, especially in insects. Some of the symbionts undergo a long-term co-evolution with the host, resulting in massive genome decay.

Evolutionary patchwork of an insecticidal toxin shared between plant-associated pseudomonads and the insect pathogens Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Root-colonizing fluorescent pseudomonads are known for their excellent abilities to protect plants against soil-borne fungal pathogens. Some of these bacteria produce an insecticidal toxin (Fit) suggesting that they may exploit insect hosts ...

arXiv, 2023 Approximately half of the existing winged-insect species are of very small size (wing length about 0.3-4 mm); they are referred to as miniature insects. Yet until recently, much of what we know about the mechanics of insect flight was derived from studies on relatively large insects, such as hoverflies, honey bees and hawkmoths.

Outdoor malaria vector species profile in dryland ecosystems of Kenya
Scientific Reports, 2022 Outdoor biting by anopheline mosquitoes is one of the contributors to residual malaria transmission, but the profile of vectors driving this phenomenon is not well understood. Here, we studied the bionomics and genetically characterized populations of An.

Motion Informed Object Detection of Small Insects in Time-lapse Camera Recordings [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Insects as pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystem management and world food production. However, insect populations are declining, calling for efficient methods of insect monitoring. Existing methods analyze video or time-lapse images of insects in nature, but the analysis is challenging since insects are small objects in complex and dynamic ...
