The bioinsecticidal and repellent effect of four plant powders (Chenopodium ambrosioides, Piper auritum, Laurus nobilis, and Origanum vulgare) was evaluated in the control of Sitophilus zeamais adults in corn grains stored in the rural community of S...
The role of nitrogen metabolism during insect development and reproduction is of primary importance for the success of a species. We conducted a study designed to examine the nitrogen economy of Schistocerca americana from hatching to adulthood, focu...
Termites are eusocial insects with functionally specialized workers and soldiers, both sharing the same genotype. Additionally, lower termites host flagellates in their hindguts that assist in wood digestion. However, worker-biased and soldier-biased...
The reproductive division of labor is a fundamental characteristic of eusociality; thus, understanding the caste determination system underlying the reproductive division of labor would shed more light on the evolution of eusociality. In this review,...
Monolepta signata are polyphagous pest widely distributed in China, and the damage as well as economic losses it caused were increasing in recent years. Knowledge of species diversity, population structure and habitat suitability could enhance the ef...
Callobruchus maculatus is a major quarantine pest of stored legumes in China. As a holometabolous insect, it lives inside the bean it burrows into in both its larval and pupal stages. This study utilized micro-CT and 3D reconstruction to document tho...
This paper focuses on insect remains found at the Kebezen site (51.93600° N, 87.09665° E) on the Turachak stream, Altai Republic, Russia, in layers ranging in age from 20.1 to 19.3 cal ky BP, corresponding to the onset of the last deglaciatio...
Jewel beetles of the genus Sternocera are widely distributed across tropical regions, including Thailand and Lao PDR, where the green-legged S. aequisignata Saunders, 1866, and red-legged S. ruficornis Saunders, 1866, are commonly found. These jewel...
