Effects of Dehumidification on the Survivorship of Four Psocid Species [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021
AbstractPsocids are damaging stored-product pests. In this study, eggs and early-instar nymphs, adults, and all life stages of Liposcelis entomophila, L. decolor, L. bostrychophila, and L. paeta were subjected to 43, 50, or 75% (Control) relative humidity (RH) for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 d at 30.0°C. All adults of these species died within 8 d at

Could species‐focused suppression of Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, and Aedes albopictus, the tiger mosquito, affect interacting predators? An evidence synthesis from the literature

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 7, Page 2729-2745, July 2022., 2022
The risks of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus nuisance and vector‐borne diseases are rising and their ranges are expanding. The studies identified by this extensive review come together to suggest little potential risk of adverse impact of suppressing or eliminating invasive Aedes spp. on their predators and food webs.

Phosphine resistance in Psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophila (Psocoptera) in the Philippines [PDF]

, 2020
Phosphine fumigation is one of the most effective way control insect pests in stored agricultural products. However, continuous use and highly dependent on phosphine fumigation has led to resistance development of major storage insect pests, including ...

New records of Psocoptera species from Bulgaria

Historia Naturalis Bulgarica, 2022
Four Psocoptera species are reported as new records for Bulgaria: Valenzuela corsicus (Kolbe, 1882) (Ihtimanska Sredna Gora Mts), Reuterella helvimacula (Enderlein, 1901) (Rila Mts), Mesopsocus helveticus Lienhard, 1977 and Hyalopsocus contrarius (Reuter,

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Reducing Postharvest Loss of Stored Grains Using Plant‐Based Biopesticides: A Review of Past Research Efforts

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The world population is projected to be 9.1 billion by the year 2050, and about 70% extra food will be required. One of the main challenges regarding food security is postharvest loss due to insect pests. The overall postharvest grain losses for sub‐Saharan Africa could be as high as US$4 billion/year.

Feeding habits and novel prey of larval fishes in the northern San Francisco Estuary

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 1059-1080, November 2021., 2021
We used dietary DNA metabarcoding analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene to study the diets of larval fishes in the San Francisco Estuary and found a high level of overlap between the two species primarily dominated by calanoid and cyclopoid copepods.

Rolling pits of Hartmann’s mountain zebra (Zebra equus hartmannae) increase vegetation diversity and landscape heterogeneity in the Pre‐Namib

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 19, Page 13036-13051, October 2021., 2021
The dust‐bathing behavior of the Hartmann’s mountain zebra creates unique rolling‐pits that persist in the landscape. In contrast to the surrounding grassland, the rolling‐pits have finer soil with higher nutrient content, collect run‐off, show a higher infiltration and keep soil moisture longer.

Arthropod facilitation mediated by abandoned dead domatia

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021
Abstract In ant–plant mutualistic interactions, plants provide shelter (domatia) and/or food to ants and in exchange, and ants provide protection against herbivores. After plant tissue senescence, ants are expected to abandon dead domatia, leaving these empty spaces available for other arthropods.

The first contribution to the fauna of psocids (Insecta: Psocoptera) in forests in the Drahanská vrchovina Hills (Czech Republic)

Journal of Forest Science, 2016
Taxocenosis of psocids (Psocoptera) was studied in the territory of the Drahanská vrchovina Hills in the Czech Republic. Representative research plots were selected in forest ecosystems with natural species composition and spatial structure (small-scale ...
