Adult host‐plant preference and larval performance in an oligophagous insect (Chnootriba elaterii)
Physiological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 171-183, December 2023., 2023 For females of the melon ladybug, olfactory cues alone do not provide sufficient information to identify the potential host plants (Y‐tube olfactometer). The adult females choose between several cucurbits, often preferring watermelon and refusing loofah and calabash (dual‐choice chambers).

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 313-323, May 2023., 2023 We conducted a meta‐regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between 10 of the most commonly measured bee functional traits and pollination. Notably, we only found 17 studies that met our selection criteria, yielding 45 effect sizes for six of the traits (body size, tongue length, diet breadth, nesting, parasitism, and sociality).

Pest categorisation of Nipaecoccus viridis
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Nipaecoccus viridis (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae), the spherical scale, for the EU. It is of Asian origin and occurs widely in southern Asia, Africa and tropical Australia. It has been introduced to a few countries in the Americas.

Indoor Air, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Evaporative cooling is an energy efficient form of air conditioning in dry climates that functions by pulling hot, dry outdoor air across a wet evaporative pad. While evaporative coolers can help save energy, they also have the potential to influence human health.

Papaya ringspot virus W infecting Luffa aegyptiaca in Cuba [PDF]
Australasian Plant Disease Notes, 2017 Luffa aegyptiaca (sponge gourd) plants showing severe leaf mosaic and deformation symptoms were observed in Villa Clara, Cuba. Electron microscopy observations of leaf dip preparations revealed flexuous filamentous particles, which were identified as Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) by ELISA test.
