Fumigant and Toxic Activities of Three Essential Oils Against Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2023
Control ways in stored-product soils mainly rely on alternative pesticides. The modification of new environmentally friendly alternatives, such as essential oils (EOs), is a key issue.

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

Pest 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

Entomologia 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

Biotropica, 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

Molecular 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.

Preliminary patterns of seasonal changes in species composition of surface‐active arthropods in a South African savannah

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1222-1231, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Surface‐active arthropods have limited dispersal abilities and their abundances are responsive to changes in the environment. Their sensitivity allows for the identification of aspects of environmental variation that are responsible for changes in community assemblages of these arthropods.

Electrophysiological and behavioural responses of Stegobium paniceum to volatile compounds from Chinese medicinal plant materials

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 3697-3703, August 2022., 2022
Four compounds identified from the volatiles of Chinese medicinal plant materials (CMPMs) are perceived by the peripheral olfactory system of S. paniceum adults and are able to individually elicit a positive chemotaxis in S. paniceum adults confirming the role of chemical cues in host‐plant detection and selection of this pest.

The Silvanidae of Israel (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) [PDF]

, 2015
The Silvanidae is a family comprising mainly small, subcortical, saproxylic, beetles with the more or less dorsoventrally flattened body. It is a family of high economic importance, as some of the species are pests of stored goods; some of them are ...
