Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
, 2010 To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...

Nature, 1878 I HAD anticipated in my own mind Mrs. Hubbard's suggestion, and only the great pressure on your space prevented my meeting it in my previous letter. In the first place, my recollection is that the spider was of a kind that spins no web; like our own grey hunting spider, familiar in the summer on walls and palings. In the next place no species of spider,

LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics, 2005 AbstractThe use of diagrams in mathematics has traditionally been restricted to guiding intuition and communication. With rare exceptions such as Peirce's alpha and beta systems, purely diagrammatic formal reasoning has not been in the mathematician's or logician's toolkit. This paper develops a purely diagrammatic reasoning system of “spider diagrams”

Tying pest insects in knots: the deployment of spider-venom-derived knottins as bioinsecticides.
Pest Management Science, 2019 Spider venoms are complex chemical arsenals that contain a rich variety of insecticidal toxins. However, the major toxin class in many spider venoms is disulfide-rich peptides known as knottins.

Aramid Nanofiber Aerogels: Versatile High Complexity Components for Multifunctional Composites
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Different forms of aramid nanofibers (ANFs) and especially aerogels from them, offer a sustainable route to high‐performance biomimetic nanocomposites. Due to the cartilage‐like architecture, ANF‐based materials enable breakthroughs in energy, electromagnetic, biomedical, and water purification technologies.
