The efficacy of some synthetic monoterpenes and Yucca extract for controlling Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) in wheat grain [PDF]
The study’s objective was to assess the efficacy and to identify the toxic mechanisms of action of some plant-derived monoterpenes and yucca extract as alternatives to chemical insecticides against the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum.

Residue Analysis of Insecticides in Potatoes by QuEChERS-dSPE/UHPLC-PDA
Insecticides are broadly applied in agriculture to defend crops from illnesses and pest attacks, consequently guaranteeing high production. However, their residual deposits in food products are becoming a main concern with regard to human consumption. As

Circadian rhythms in insecticide susceptibility, metabolic enzyme activity, and gene expression in Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae). [PDF]
Many insect species display daily variation of sensitivity to insecticides when they are exposed to the same concentration at different times during the day. To date, this has not been investigated in bed bugs.

The total synthesis of the manzamine alkaloid keramamine C (2) in its racemic form was achieved in 5 steps, with ring‐closing metathesis as the key step. The metathesis is strongly improved by an intramolecular H‐bond‐induced conformational fixation of the amide bond, inducing close proximity of the terminal double bonds in the precursor molecule.

Population management of cone and seed insects in spruce seed orchards [PDF]
Seed orchards have been established in order to produce high quality seeds for reforestation and forestation. However, seed production in spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seed orchards is severely hampered by cone- and seed-feeding insects.
