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 ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 501-514, May 2025.ABSTRACT Long‐lasting insecticide‐incorporated netting (LLIN) can intercept insects and has shown promise for pest management before and after harvest in agriculture. Understanding how to incorporate LLIN into existing integrated pest management (IPM) programs, with other commonly used tactics like residual contact insecticides, can significantly ...

Effectiveness of spinosad as a grain protectant against resistant beetle and psocid pests of stored grain in Australia [PDF]
, 2005 Effectiveness of the bacterium-derived insecticide, spinosad, was determined against eight storage pests of Australia. Laboratory experiments were carried out on relevant resistant strains of four beetle and four psocid species, with the aim of ...

Psocids (Psocoptera). Chapter 13.2 [PDF]
BioRisk, 2010 Among the 231 species of Psocoptera present in Europe, 49 (21.2%) are considered to be of alien origin. Th ey include 29 exotic introduced species and 20 cryptogenic species. Most of the exotic species originated from tropical and subtropical areas, essentially from Africa. Many of them are food pests, moving along with stored products. Th irty-nine of

Efficacy of grain protectants against four psocid species onmaize, rice and wheat [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Psocids are emerging pests in stored products, particularly in amylaceous commodities such as grains. Currently, their control is based on the use of fumigants and contact insecticides; however, newer data indicate that psocids are tolerant ...

Biology and Management of Psocids Infesting Stored Products
Annual Review of Entomology, 2014 Previously regarded as minor nuisance pests, psocids belonging to the genus Liposcelis now pose a major problem for the effective protection of stored products worldwide. Here we examine the apparent biological and operational reasons behind this phenomenon and why conventional pest management seems to be failing. We investigate what is known about the
