Insect Protein-Based Diet as Potential Risk of Allergy in Dogs

Animals, 2021
Before insects can be used widely as an alternative source of dietary protein, their allerginicity should be investigated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the potential adverse reactions of the immune system of dogs against Tenebrio molitor

Prey and Non-prey Arthropods Sharing a Host Plant: Effects on Induced Volatile Emission and Predator Attraction [PDF]

, 2008
It is well established that plants infested with a single herbivore species can attract specific natural enemies through the emission of herbivore-induced volatiles.

Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]

, 2010
To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...

Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Functional carbon materials are synthesized from combination of biopolymer (chitin) and iron precursors. The resultant material exhibits superior surface area and adsorptive properties compared to carbon materials synthesized directly from pure chitin.

Influence of temperature on life table parameters and the efficacy of Feltiella acarisuga releases against Tetranychus urticae on Cucumber plants under greenhouse conditions

Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology
This study evaluated the developmental biology, predatory performance, and field control efficacy of Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) as a biocontrol agent against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Tetranychidae) at different constant ...

Presence and diversity of Chlamydiae bacteria in Spinturnix myoti, an ectoparasite of bats

Parasite, 2020
Chlamydia spp. and Chlamydia-like organisms are able to infect vertebrates such as mammals, reptiles and birds, but also arthropods and protozoans. Since they have been detected in bats and bat feces, we expected Chlamydiae bacteria to also be present in

The mighty mite [PDF]

Current Biology, 2000
Rainforests are renowned as storehouses of terrestrial biodiversity, but many of the more astounding species are apparent only after the closest scrutiny. Here are a few of the roughly 2000 species of mite (Arachnida: Acari) that can be found in the subtropical rainforests of Lamington National Park in south-east Queensland, AustraliaFigure 1Figure 1 ...

Ultrafast Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors With Ion‐Permeable Conductive Polymer Top Electrodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) are limited in speed by ion‐impermeable metal electrodes that slow ion injection. Using ion‐permeable PBFDO top electrodes allows direct vertical ion injection into BBL channels, achieving high current densities (>400 A cm−2), large on/off ratios (>106), and ultrafast switching in 28 µs. This sets a

Acaricidal, ovicidal, and repellent effects of Tagetes patula leaf extract against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2019
This study investigates the acaricidal, ovicidal, and repellent effects of the Tagetes patula Linn. (Asteraceae) leaf extract against both the adult female and egg stages of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae) under laboratory ...
