Insights into How Longicorn Beetle Larvae Determine the Timing of Metamorphosis: Starvation-Induced Mechanism Revisited. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Larvae of holometabolous insects must determine the timing of their metamorphosis. How they determine this timing has only been studied in detail for a few insect species. In a few species of Coleoptera, starvation is known to be a cue for metamorphosis,

Bio-Inspired Strategy for Radiation-Based Thermal Management and Utilization. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

Differences in Male Mate Recognition between the Invasive Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and Japanese Native A. malasiaca [PDF]

Insects, 2023
The Asian longicorn beetle Anoplophora glabripennis is a recently arrived invasive species to Japan. The Japanese native A. malasiaca shows an extensive overlap with A. glabripennis with host plants, niches, and emergence season.

New evidence on the spread in Catalonia of the invasive longhorn beetle, Xylotrechus chinensis, and the efficacy of abamectin control [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The invasive wasp-mimicking Tiger Longicorn Beetle, Xylotrechus chinensis, a potentially lethal pest of mulberry trees (Moraceae: Morus spp.), was first reported in Europe in 2018. In Catalonia its spread has been impressive: one district, four towns, 44

Predicting the Distribution of Sclerodermus sichuanensis (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) under Climate Change in China [PDF]

Insects, 2023
Sclerodermus sichuanensis is the natural enemy of the longicorn beetle due to its strong attack ability and high parasitic rate. Its good resistance and fecundity make it have significant biological control value.

Biomimetic Pyramid Structure Film for Enhancing Building Radiative Cooling. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Taking inspirations from the special surface structure of natural heat‐resistant organisms, a biomimetic micro‐pyramid‐shaped radiative cooling film is fabricated by integrating high dielectric constant materials with polymers. The resulting film boasts a solar reflectance of 97.3%, an exceeding 98% infrared light emission within the atmospheric window

A gut-specific chitinase from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): cDNA cloning, gene structure, expression and enzymatic activity

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
A gut-specific chitinase gene was cloned from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari. The A. germari chitinase (AgChi) gene spans 2894 bp and consists of five introns and six exons coding for 390 amino acid residues. AgChi possesses the chitinase

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US. [PDF]

EFSA J
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 ...
