Abstract Widespread mortality of native North American ash caused by emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) threatens native arthropod biodiversity, but hybrid ash populations with resistance to EAB may serve a role in supporting threatened communities of arthropods in managed landscapes impacted by EAB.

The eugenol derivative showed greater repellence and persistence against the stored grain insect pest Sitophilus oryzae than eugenol but with a less intense smell. Abstract BACKGROUND Essential oils (EOs) and their chemical components are often proposed as an alternative to synthetic pesticides for pest control of foodstuff insect pests. However, their

The unique attributes, biodegradability, biocompatibility, perfect accessibility, and low production costs led to the use of natural gums in a different section of our lives. Among them, we can mention gums obtained from microorganisms (xanthan gum and gellan gum), plant tissues (Arabic gum and gum tragacanth), seeds (konjac gum and guar gum), seaweeds

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.

Invasion disharmony in the global biogeography of native and non‐native beetle species
Abstract Aim The concept of “island disharmony” has been widely applied to describe the systematic over‐ and under‐representation of taxa on islands compared to mainland regions. Here, we explore an extension of that concept to biological invasions. We compare biogeographical patterns in native and non‐native beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages from around

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.

Three new species and new records of African Psammoecus Latreille (Coleoptera, Silvanidae)
Three new African species of Psammoecus Latreille, 1829 are described: Psammoecus nyakabuyensis sp. nov., Psammoecus procerus sp. nov. and Psammoecus sinuaticollis sp. nov. New distribution data and a revised identification key for African Psammoecus are
