Factors Affecting Capture Rates of Insect Taxa by Retail Electrocutors and Eliminators in Northern Lower Michigan [PDF]
We compare the abundance and types of insects captured at several locations, with and without a chemical attractant and in varying weather conditions using two different devices advertised to kill biting insects.

Transcription of satellite DNAs in insects [PDF]
Chromatin condensation is an important regulatory mechanism of gene silencing as well as gene activation for the hundreds of functional protein genes harbored in heterochromatic regions of different insect species.

Notes on taxonomy and distribution of the subgenus Heloponotus Reitter, 1922, genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), with a key to species and subspecies [PDF]
A brief review of the subgenus Heloponotus Reitter, 1922 (genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) is presented. This group was probably formed on the Crimean Peninsula, since the high diversity and endemism are observed here ...

A new species of darkling beetles of the genus Blaps Fabricius, 1775 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from Turkmenistan and Iran [PDF]
A new species of darkling beetles, Blaps ernesti sp. n., is described from the Southeast Caspian region (Turkmenistan, Iran). Allard was the first to describe this species in 1882, but he misidentified it as “Blaps variolaris Gemminger, 1870”, the junior

We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.
