Identification of potential predators of western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) in field corn through molecular gut‐content analysis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

Reliability and diagnostic accuracy of home video recording in differentiating sleep‐related hypermotor epilepsy from disorders of arousal

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study evaluates the interobserver reliability (IR) and diagnostic accuracy of home video in distinguishing sleep‐related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) from disorders of arousal (DoA) among neurologists with varying levels of expertise.

Functional relations between locomotor performance traits in spiders and implications for evolutionary hypotheses

BMC Research Notes, 2010
Background Locomotor performance in ecologically relevant activities is often linked to individual fitness. Recent controversy over evolution of extreme sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in spiders centres on the relationship between size and locomotor ...

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.

Mitigating Arthropod Mortality During Roadside Mowing: The Potential of the EcoCut Insect Flushing Bar

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (

Behavioural and physiological adaptations of a jumping spider to a marine environment

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated aspects of Maratus marinus (Salticidae) behaviour and physiology that allow it to exploit the intertidal zone of its habitat and survive periods of submergence. In a simulated rising tide, spiders within densely constructed nests remained, continuing to respire while submerged. Spiders in flimsily built nests fled the oncoming tide, and
