Essential Oils in Stored Product Insect Pest Control

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Among botanical extracts used as insecticides, essential oils (EOs) are promising alternatives to chemical insecticides. EOs are synthesized by plants, and they play a key role in plant signaling processes including also attractiveness toward pollinators and beneficial insects.

Composition of psocid taxocenoses (Insecta: Psocoptera) in dependence on the level of naturalness of forest ecosystems in the Žďárské vrchy hills

Journal of Forest Science, 2003
In 1999-2000 in the Protected Landscape Area (PLA) Žďárské vrchy hills the occurrence of psocids (Psocoptera) was studied in different types of biotopes: natural forest ecosystems (stands of Fagus sylvatica with individual admixture of Abies alba, Acer ...

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.

Essential Oils from Clausena Species in China: Santalene Sesquiterpenes Resource and Toxicity against Liposcelis bostrychophila

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
To develop natural product resources from the Clausena genus (Rutaceae), the essential oils (EOs) from four Clausena plants (Clausena excavata, C. lansium, C. emarginata, and C. dunniana) were analyzed by GC‐MS. Their lethal (contact toxicity) and sublethal effects (repellency) against Liposcelis bostrychophila (LB) adults were also evaluated ...

The psocid Liposcelis bostrychophilus Badonnel (Psocoptera: Liposcelidae): an occasional herbarium pest

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1995
The herbarium pest Uposcelis bostry chophilus is described and illustrated. Aspects of the insect's life cycle and eradication are discussed. Where possible, non-toxic methods, such as sterile-entry techniques of control, should be used.

Novel Foraging Behaviors of an Urban Bird, the Light‐Vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Light‐vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) were observed foraging on tree trunks in a woodpecker‐like manner. Light‐vented Bulbuls foraged on insect aggregations under artificial street light. Our findings provide new insights into possible behavioral adaptation strategies of Light‐vented Bulbuls to urban environments. ABSTRACT Urban environments expose

The Role of Silk in the Behaviour and Sociality of Spiders

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
This article describes the links between the production of silk by spiders and their behaviour. Silk allows the spider to change its physical environment, which in turn leads to behavioural changes and impacts in the new environment. The feedback between silk and the animal producer can explain the architecture of spider webs and their adaptation to ...

Evaluation of light attraction for the stored-product psocid, \u3ci\u3eLiposcelis bostrychophila\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

, 2016
The psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae), is the most widespread psocid pest of stored products. Because L. bostrychophila has developed resistance to several chemical insecticides, it is important to investigate other ...
