Weevils, weevils, weevils everywhere*
Zootaxa, 2007 An overview is presented of the progress made on the taxonomy, classification and phylogeny of weevils in the 250 years since the first taxonomic descriptions of weevils by Carolus Linnaeus. The number of described weevils species is calculated to be about 62 000 and the likely total number of existing species 220 000, indicating that we have described

Dust to weevils, weevils to dust: maize weevil personality and susceptibility to diatomaceous earth
Journal of Pest Science, 2015 The role of behavior in insecticide susceptibility is broadly recognized, in addition to the physiological effects of insecticides. Curiously, the recognition of the importance of behavior does not extend to the control by physical agents, like inert dusts such as diatomaceous earth (DE).
