Freezing for control of stored-product psocids
Abstract A series of studies was conducted by exposing young and old eggs, nymphs, and adults of the psocids Liposcelis bostrychophila (Badonnel), L. paeta (Pearman), L. decolor (Pearman), and L. entomophila (Enderlein) to −18 °C for various time intervals.

From stored-product psocids to the other pests: the developments, problems and prospects on research and application of molecular identification [PDF]
Psocids, beetles, moths and mites are regarded as the common kinds of stored-product pests in the world. The rapid and correct identification of stored-product pests is significant for quarantine, monitoring and control purposes.

Involvement of Methoprene-tolerant and Krüppel homolog 1 in juvenile hormone-mediated vitellogenesis of female Liposcelis entomophila (End.) (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae). [PDF]
A graphical summary of this study and a model of the role of juvenile hormone (JH) signaling in the reproduction of Liposcelis entomophila. JH signaling induces reproduction by enhancing the expression of Vg through Met and Kr‐h1. Blocking JH signaling by knockdown with Met and Kr‐h1, which inhibits Vg expression and affects reproduction, can provide ...

Novel Foraging Behaviors of an Urban Bird, the Light-Vented Bulbul (<i>Pycnonotus sinensis</i>). [PDF]
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

Distribution of psocids (Psocoptera) in temperature gradients in stored wheat [PDF]
Psocids have become important pests of stored products during the last two decades, but little is known about their behavior or ecology. We examined distribution of Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae), Liposcelis entomophila ...

Phylogenomics of the family Lachesillidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha)
Monophyly of bark lice family Lachesillidae never was recovered. Monophyly of the tribe Graphocaeciliini and the genus Lachesilla never were recovered. Systematic position of Eolachesilla chilensis was unstable across different analyses and data sets.

Study on Detection of Psocids Annual Occurrence in Wheat Flour Warehouse in Guangzhou
Psocids occurrence was detected in flour warehouse from March-2017 to February-2018 by a corrugated board trap. The location of psocids and its relationship with temperature and humidity were analyzed by geostatistics contour mapping technology.

Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Despite previous studies that analyzed the foraging niches of shorebirds worldwide, the dietary niche dynamics of shorebirds coexisting in Asia are very poorly known. This study is therefore the early few that aim to unveil the trophic organization of shorebirds in a subtropical wetland within the EAAF.
