Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Controlling insects in stored grain by disturbing the grain
Insects can cause damage to stored grain, especially on smallholder farms in the tropics. Sitophilus zeamais (maize weevil, MW) and Rhyzopertha dominica (lesser grain borer, LGB) are often involved. Our objective was to determine, by four experiments, if

Influence of winter savory (Satureja montana) aqueous extract on mortality of lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica) [PDF]
Losses of grain quality and quantity as a result of insect activity during storage impose the need for proper pest control. One of the major pests of stored wheat is the lesser grain borer (LGB), Rhyzopertha dominica. This pest is usually controlled with
