Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

INFRAORDER ISOPTERA Although the respiratory physiology of termites (especially as it relates to their digestive system) has been studied for decades, micro-CT scans of respiratory architectures have been absent. The tracheal scans of the reproductive caste Reticulatermes flavipes and soldier caster Zootermopsis angusticollis shown here detail the ...

Edible insects offer a sustainable protein source, requiring fewer resources than traditional livestock. Despite challenges, they have the potential to enhance food security and sustainability for a growing global population. ABSTRACT As the world faces an escalating protein crisis amid climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, edible ...

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Quantitative Changes in Hydrocarbons over Time in Fecal Pellets of Incisitermes minor May Predict Whether Colonies Are Alive or Dead [PDF]
Hydrocarbon mixtures extracted from fecal pellets of drywood termites are species-specific and can be characterized to identify the termites responsible for damage, even when termites are no longer present or are unable to be recovered easily.

ABSTRACT Climate change presents significant challenges to species survival; however, the long‐term effects on tropical lizard populations remain poorly understood. Previous studies have predicted contrasting outcomes, with some forecasting a high risk of extinction due to rising temperatures, while others suggest greater resilience in tropical ...

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.
