Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

The Arkansas Laboratory Strain of the Maize Weevil [PDF]

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1975
The parent insects of the Arkansas laboratory strain of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky were collected by the author from a bin of corn located on a farm near Stuttgart, Ark., in 1955. The strain was retained and reared as a separate culture because the insects were darker and larger than the laboratory strain of “rice” weevils.

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.
