Essential Oils in Stored Product Insect Pest Control

Journal of Food Quality, 2018
Among botanical extracts used as insecticides, essential oils (EOs) are promising alternatives to chemical insecticides. EOs are synthesized by plants, and they play a key role in plant signaling processes including also attractiveness toward pollinators

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Modified Atmosphere Does Not Reduce the Efficacy of Phytosanitary Irradiation Doses Recommended for Tephritid Fruit Flies

Insects, 2020
Phytosanitary irradiation (PI) has been successfully used to disinfest fresh commodities and facilitate international agricultural trade. Critical aspects that may reduce PI efficacy must be considered to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of ...

Temperature warming strengthens the mutualism between ghost ants and invasive mealybugs

Scientific Reports, 2017
Although the exogenous forces that directly affect the mutualisms between ants and honeydew-producing hemipterans have been well documented, few studies have been focused on the impacts of environmental warming on ant-hemipteran interactions.

Occurrence and Human Health Implications of Legacy Organochlorine Pesticides and Their Metabolites in Fruits and Vegetables of Bangladesh

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Multiple OCP isomers and/or metabolites along with their parent compounds were detected in commonly consumed fruits and vegetables of Bangladesh, possibly attributed to both recently and historically applied OCPs. However, all the detected values were below 0.01 mg/kg, indicating no potential human health risks through dietary intake. ABSTRACT Globally,
