Local species richness of parasitoid wasps (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) in Afrotropical forest: Conservation perspectives

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using extensive Malaise trapping, we collected a high richness of Pimplinae (86 species, 5892 individuals) in habitat types across a successional gradient. We found higher richness in forest than in nearby farmland, highlighting the importance of tropical forest in conserving parasitoid wasp richness.

Establishment and rapid spread of social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespinae) in Greenland Igutsaqalerneq igutsaqatigiiaartartullu (Hymenoptera: Vespinae) nunatsinni siaruaatipallannerat

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In other island nations, the establishment of social wasps has had tremendous negative impacts on local biodiversity. The Red wasp Vespula rufa and the Norwegian wasp Dolichovespula norwegica have now been established in Greenland, with unknown impacts on native fauna.

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Streptococcus mutans Growth Inhibition by the Probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG as an Additive to Infant Formula

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Probiotics have demonstrated Streptococcus mutans (SM) suppression. This in vitro study compared the SM inhibition capacity of bovine infant formula supplemented with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Gorbach Goldin (LGG) probiotic to a plain formulation. Methods Two bovine‐based infant formulas, Similac Advance Optigro (formula non‐probiotic, FNP)
