Susceptibility of stored-product psocids to aerosol insecticides. [PDF]

J Insect Sci, 2012
The efficacies of commercial methoprene and esfenvalerate aerosols for control of stored-product psocid pests were evaluated in simulated field studies. The efficacies of methoprene, esfenvalerate EC, the carrier Isopar-M™, and a combination of methoprene and esfenvalerate aerosols for control of Liposcelis decolor (Pearman) (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae)

From stored-product psocids to the other pests: the developments, problems and prospects on research and application of molecular identification [PDF]

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
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]

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol, 2023
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]

Ecol Evol
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

Phylogenomics of the family Lachesillidae (Insecta: Psocodea: Psocomorpha)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 316-327, April 2023., 2023
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

Liang you shipin ke-ji, 2020
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.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
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 ...

Dietary diversity of multiple shorebird species in an Asian subtropical wetland unveiled by DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1381-1396, November 2022., 2022
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.

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.
