Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

RF heating reaches 52°C in 14 min (vs. 196 min for HA) and with 1.5 min holding achieves 100% larval mortality, inducing multilevel injury—cuticular damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA fragmentation—while better preserving color, texture, and bioactive components than HA.

This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

See No Weevil: Dark Data Patterns in Repositories and Their Implications for Conservation Planning
Reliable species distribution data are essential for conservation planning, yet for many invertebrates, these data are incomplete or inaccessible. Institutional collections hold millions of insect specimens, but most of the data and metadata are undigitised ‘dark data', limiting their integration into global biodiversity platforms.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes for Control of Root Weevils of Citrus
The entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP-88 strain), H. bacteriophora (Florida strain), applied to the soil of a citrus grove near Lake Jem, Florida in March 1989, significantly reduced adult emergence of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.).

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
