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.

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 ...

New barklice (Psocodea, Trogiomorpha) from Lower Cretaceous Spanish amber

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 8, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022
Abstract Barklice are insects belonging to the order Psocodea. They are herbivorous or detritivorous, and inhabit a wide range of environments. Their oldest fossil record dates back to the late Carboniferous, but it was not until the Cretaceous that they became much more diverse.

Anaphylaxis to Oatmeal and Psocid Crisps

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2020
Occasionally, a seemingly straightforward history of food-induced anaphylaxis may prove to be misleading.  Both patients and their physicians have a tendency to attribute the cause of an allergic reaction to the most conspicuous ingredient that had been ingested while overlooking less likely causes.  Here, we describe a patient whose history pointed to

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.
