Seasonal flight activity and the length of the generation period of selected Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) –extent and causes of variation

Folia Oecologica
The variability in the timing of spells of flight activity was monitored in 25 monovoltine and 10 bivoltine species of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) by evaluating their catches in a light trap operated nightly from April to November 1967–1995.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Ozonation as a promising approach to improve stored rice quality in Ghana

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Two species of rice pests that are responsible for postharvest losses, the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) and the Angoumois moth (Sitotroga cerealella), are major destructive pests responsible for paddy grain deterioration. A benchtop custom‐built model of ozone‐generating equipment from ozone generator DKM‐10GY, producing 2000 ppm

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

A putative nursery pollination mutualism between Japanese Chrysosplenium plants and Nipponorhynchus sawflies

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding ecological interactions is increasingly important for biodiversity conservation. This study reveals a unique nursery pollination mutualism between Japanese endemic plants and sawflies. These partners exhibit tightly synchronized life cycles in riparian forests, making them sensitive to environmental changes.

Lethal effect of sulfuryl fluoride on eggs of different age of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) – demonstration of the no constancy of the ct product for control

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2011
One to four day old eggs of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella served for an investigation of their tolerance towards sulfuryl fluoride (SF) fumigation at 27°C and 65% relative humidity and of the question of constancy of the lethal dosage of SF –

Validation of a novel bioassay method for the evaluation of the activity of slow‐acting insecticides on tomato borer Phthorimaea absoluta

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Extended bioassays revealed that azadirachtin and spirotetramat show strong delayed effects against Phthorimaea absoluta, underestimated by the standard Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) method 022 protocol. Incorporating long‐term exposures is essential to accurately assess slow‐acting insecticides and improve resistance management ...

Mating history shapes Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility and female fitness in an insect pest

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Mating order and remating of females by males with different endosymbiont associations strongly shape Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility, female fitness and offspring sex ratio. An incompatible first mating was weakly affected if followed by a compatible mating and vice versa, indicating strong first‐male sperm precedence with consequences ...

Eloria subapicalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Lymantriinae): rare and specialist species on Erythroxylum (Erythroxylaceae) in the cerrado

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
Eloria subapicalis (Walker, 1855) is a rare species (61 individuals in four years of samplings) of Noctuidae (Lymantriinae) with a specific diet consisting of leaves of Erythroxylum P. Browne (Erytroxylaceae) species in Brasilia's cerrado. Generally, the
