Estimating the Susceptibility of Four Wheat Cultivars to the Saw-Toothed Grain Beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae). [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Food Sci, 2022
The quality and quantity of wheat are severely affected by insect infestation during storage. Excessive use of chemical pesticides has resulted in several environmental issues, in addition to the emergence of pesticide‐resistant strains. Extensive research has been conducted to determine sustainable alternatives, such as the selection and cultivation ...

Arthropod Assemblages in Desert Ecosystems of Alula County, Saudi Arabia. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study provides preliminary descriptions of arthropod communities in two desert habitats—arid thorn woodlands and wadis—across protected areas in AlUla County, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pitfall trapping over a 6‐day period yielded more than 2000 specimens representing at least 189 morphospecies, with ants (Formicidae) and springtails ...

Quick knockdown results in high mortality: is this theory correct? A case study with phosphine and the red flour beetle

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3740-3748, October 2023., 2023
Twenty‐three different populations of Tribolium castaneum were evaluated for phosphine resistance using a modification of Detia Degesch Phosphine Tolerance Test Kit (DDPTTK). Abstract BACKGROUND The fumigant phosphine is used all over the world for disinfestation of stored grains and commodities.

Artificial fruits and nuts for studying predation of cryptic prey: a case of 3D‐printed coffee berries for studying predation of coffee berry borer by flat bark beetles

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 9, Page 716-720, September 2023., 2023
Studying the effects of predation in cryptic herbivorous insects is difficult because many spend all or most of their life cycle inside their host plant. Here, we designed and 3D‐printed artificial coffee berries to study predation of coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) by flat bark beetles, Cathartus ...

Fine‐scale temporal dynamics of flower visitors sheds light on insect‐assemblage overlap between sexes in a dioecious Ecuadorian palm

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 256-267, January 2023., 2023
We characterized the composition and the temporal variations of the arthropods community visiting female and male inflorescences of the palm Phytelephas aequatorialis. We report 59 morphospecies dominated by three beetle families: Staphylinidae, Nitidulidae, and Curculionidae and 16 pollinator candidates among which nine visited both inflorescence ...

Wolbachia causes cytoplasmic incompatibility but not male‐killing in a grain pest beetle

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6570-6587, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The endosymbiotic Wolbachia is one of the most common intracellular bacteria known in arthropods and nematodes. Its ability for reproductive manipulation can cause unequal inheritance to male and female offspring, allowing the manipulator to spread, but potentially also impact the evolutionary dynamics of infected hosts.
