Estimating the efficacy and plume reach of semiochemical-baited traps on the capture of Trogoderma granarium everts. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci"Simulated warehouse": In this study, we take the step of testing existing and modified trap designs for Trogoderma after the release of T. granarium exclusively. This work will serve to evaluate trap efficacy, while providing a template for further attractant–kill research. The most effective trap was dome trap.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 2400-2411, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Lethal and sublethal effects of pesticides on nontarget organisms are one of the causes of the current decline of many insect species. However, research in the past decades has focused primarily on pollinators, although other beneficial nontarget organisms such as parasitic wasps may also be affected.

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4186-4196, November 2023., 2023 A Wolbachia‐free Aedes albopictus strain was developed and considered to be used for SIT programmes based on the comparable fitness cost, radiosensitivity and arbovirus susceptibility to its conspecifics. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a green and species‐specific insect pest control technique that suppresses target ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1857-1866, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Recovery, recolonization, and adaptation in a chemical stress context are processes that regenerate local populations and communities as well as the functions these communities perform. Recolonization, either by species previously present or by new species able to occupy the niches left empty, refers to a metacommunity process with stressed ...

Cryptic Species in Ecotoxicology
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1889-1914, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The advent of genetic methods has led to the discovery of an increasing number of species that previously could not be distinguished from each other on the basis of morphological characteristics. Even though there has been an exponential growth of publications on cryptic species, such species are rarely considered in ecotoxicology.

Evaluating and Explaining the Variability of Honey Bee Field Studies across Europe Using BEEHAVE
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1839-1850, August 2023., 2023 BEEHAVE evaluation on honey bee field studies conducted in Germany, Hungary, and the United Kingdom. OSR = oil seed rape. Abstract To assess the effect of plant protection products on pollinator colonies, the higher tier of environmental risk assessment (ERA), for managed honey bee colonies and other pollinators, is in need of a mechanistic effect ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1337-1345, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Bumblebees carry out the complex task of foraging to provide for their colonies. They also conduct pollination, an ecosystem service of high importance to both wild plants and entomophilous crops. Insecticides can alter different aspects of bumblebee foraging behavior, including the motivation to leave the hive, finding the right flowers ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1346-1358, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Anthropogenic stressors can affect the emergence of aquatic insects. These insects link aquatic and adjacent terrestrial food webs, serving as high‐quality subsidy to terrestrial consumers, such as spiders. While previous studies have demonstrated that changes in the emergence biomass and timing may propagate across ecosystem boundaries, the ...

Some geometric aspects of finite abelian groups [PDF]
Rendiconti di Matematica e delle Sue Applicazioni, 2006 Let Π be a finite projective plane admitting a large abelian collineation group. It is well known that this situation may be studied by algebraic means (via a representation by suitable types of difference sets), namely using group rings and algebraic ...

The use of blocking sets in Galois geometries and in related research areas [PDF]
, 2012 Blocking sets play a central role in Galois geometries. Besides their intrinsic geometrical importance, the importance of blocking sets also arises from the use of blocking sets for the solution of many other geometrical problems, and problems in related
