A Preliminary Study on Flight Characteristics of the Longhorn Date Palm Stem Borer Jebusaea hammerschmidtii (Reiche 1878) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Using a Computerized Flight Mill

Hamadttu El-Shafie et al.

Summary: This study investigated the flight propensity of the longhorn date palm stem borer using a computerized flight-testing system. The results showed that temperature significantly affected the flight speed, cumulative flight time, and cumulative flight distance of the beetle, with a flight threshold temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

Variation in susceptibility to insecticides and synergistic effect of enzyme inhibitors in Pakistani strains of Trogoderma granarium

Hafiz Azhar Ali Khan

Summary: The study investigated the susceptibility of five field strains of T. granarium to three insecticides, with spinosad being the most toxic to both laboratory and field strains. Enzyme inhibitors significantly enhanced the toxicity of pirimiphos-methyl in field strains, indicating a metabolic mechanism associated with resistance.

Geometric morphometric wing analysis as a tool to discriminate female mosquitoes from different suburban areas of Chiang Mai province, Thailand

Danita Champakaew et al.

Summary: Geometric morphometrics is an efficient method for identifying mosquito species, particularly among the Aedes, Anopheles, Armigeres, Culex, and Mansonia genera. Analyzing wing shape variation through this technique enables accurate discrimination patterns and classification reliability based on morphological differences. The study suggests that GM analysis of wing landmarks is a valuable tool in vector control strategies for mosquito-borne diseases.

Nikos E. Papanikolaou et al.

Summary: The Mediterranean flour moth and the confused flour beetle are major stored-product pests globally. Thiamethoxam and pirimiphos-methyl exhibited significantly higher mortality rates on both species, suggesting that treating storage bag materials with these insecticides is an effective management strategy.

Pyrethroid based pesticides - chemical and biological aspects

Anandha Rao Ravula et al.

Summary: The use of pesticides has both benefits and risks to human health, with the main concern being their presence in water sources and the food chain. A review on pyrethroid-based insecticides shows their varying chemical and toxic nature, which can pose health hazards ranging from simple nausea to cancers. Studies focusing on the health hazards of pesticides at doses relevant to human exposure are lacking, suggesting a need for further research to provide concrete evidence on the risks of consuming pesticide contaminated food. Policy decisions to reduce pesticide residues in agricultural products and promote organic farming are recommended.

Insecticidal Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles against Spodoptera frugiperda under Laboratory Conditions

Sarayut Pittarate et al.

Summary: The use of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles has proven to be effective in controlling fall armyworm, causing body deformations, reduced fecundity, reduced oviposition, and mortality in laboratory conditions. This study suggests the potential of exploiting ZnO nanoparticles not only to manage S. frugiperda but also to significantly reduce their population through body malformations and other impacts.

A review: Learning from the flight of beetles

Zelai Song et al.

Summary: Some beetles are able to fly at low Reynolds numbers with their deployable hind wings, which provides a good bioinspiration strategy for the miniaturization of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). Flight performance and mechanisms are influenced by vein structures, muscles, elasticity storage materials, and various mechanical properties. Bioinspired MAVs with new deployable wing structures and materials can be designed based on these factors to achieve greater efficiency and miniaturization.

Grain protectant behaviour of Artemisia annua and reduction in nutritional damage of wheat flour (Triticum aestivum L.) caused by Tribolium castaneum

Mamata Deb et al.

Summary: The indiscriminate use of fumigants has led to resistance development in Tribolium castaneum, increasing grain damage. This study investigates the extent of damage to wheat flour by T. castaneum and the efficacy of Artemisia annua essential oils in its management. The results show significant damage to flour, with A. annua oils providing an eco-friendly alternative for control.
