LAMP Protocol for Entomopathogenic Serratia spp. in Insect Frass v1

, 2023
A protocol for the detection of insect-associated Serratia spp. in the frass of live insects, using a LAMP assay targeting the ureD gene of urease-positive species from the Serratia marcescens complex. In order to improve the DNA extraction from folivorous insects a bacterial separation and concentration protocol has been developed prior to the DNA ...

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

Development of an easy and cost-effective method for non-invasive genotyping of insects.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Non-invasive genotyping methods provide valuable information on insect populations. However, poor DNA amplification and time-consuming sampling procedures limit these methods, especially for small insects. An efficient and convenient method was developed

The Recycling of Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) Frass as Biofertilizer—Effects on Soil Fertility, Biomass Growth and Nitrogen Uptake of Spring Wheat

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
An important by‐product of insect rearing is the frass, a mixture of excrements, shed exoskeletons, and undigested feed. The recycling of frass as biofertilizer in agriculture is gaining attention as potential alternative to mineral fertilizers. A better

Root Herbivory: Grass Species, Epichloë Endophytes and Moisture Status Make a Difference

Microorganisms, 2020
The root-feeding scarab insect Costelytra giveni causes severe damage to pasture ecosystems in New Zealand. Loline alkaloids produced by some Epichloë endophytes deter this insect. In two experiments, tall fescue infected with E.

Physiological factors affecting the rapid decrease in protein assimilation efficiency by a caterpillar on newly‐mature tree leaves [PDF]

, 2014
Lymantria dispar L. caterpillars have a decreased ability to assimilate protein from mature leaves of red oak ( Quercus rubra ) compared with young, expanding leaves. The present study determines whether the drop in protein assimilation efficiency (PAE)

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 149-159, May 2026.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...
