DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9560
Abstract: Abstract Bumble bees are key pollinators with some species reared in captivity at a commercial scale, but with significant evidence of population declines and with alarming predictions of substantial impacts under climate change scenarios. While… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.14264
Abstract: The die‐off of the long‐spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the 1980s highlighted its crucial role as a primary grazer in tropical western Atlantic coral reefs. However, natural recovery has been slow, exacerbated by a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2023-0037
Abstract: The geographical range of the american dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say, 1821), in Canada is expanding northwards into areas where ticks experience colder temperatures during winter. Understanding the ability of D. variabilis to cope with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0012857
Abstract: Background Monitoring the efficacy of the sterile insect technique (SIT) programs, it is desirable to discriminate between wild and sterile tsetse males captured in monitoring traps. Currently, this is primarily achieved by marking sterile males… read more here.

Do NIR spectra collected from laboratory-reared mosquitoes differ from those collected from wild mosquitoes?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0198245
Abstract: Background Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a high throughput technique that measures absorbance of specific wavelengths of light by biological samples and uses this information to classify the age of lab-reared mosquitoes as younger or… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13040361
Abstract: Simple Summary Many insects host a diverse gut microbial community, ranging from pathogenic to obligate mutualistic organisms. Little is known about the bacteria associated with katydids. Gampsocleis gratiosa (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) is an economically important singing… read more here.

Safety of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana for Wild and Laboratory-Reared Chrysoperla lucasina Strains
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Insects"
DOI: 10.3390/insects15080576
Abstract: Simple Summary Natural predators such as the chrysopid Chrysoperla lucasina occur in agroecosystems, where they naturally contribute to containing pest populations. Their biological properties can be leveraged by mass rearing in the laboratory and releasing… read more here.
