The Guild concept has been of great interest to ecologists, and widely applied in entomology, particularly study the activity insects various ecosystems. However, guild storage entomology is understudied. We hypothesized that feeding structure stored grain insect (SGI) community changes with different food resources available. In present study, we examined tribal system. Further, established a ...

The environment in which postharvest crops are processed and stored is a dynamic ecosystem influenced not only by environmental factors such as temperature humidity, but also biotic influences humans insects. Abiotic variation landscapes of warehouses, processing facilities, storage shipping containers, urban agricultural settings can drive changes processes for insects living system. Principle...

Manual sampling of insects in stored grain is a laborious and time-consuming process. Automation of grain sampling should help to increase the adoption of stored grain integrated pest management. A new commercial electronic grain probe trap (OPI Insector) has recently been marketed. We field tested OPI Insector electronic grain probes in two bins, each containing 32.6 tonnes of wheat, Triticum ...

abstract since amphibians feeds on insects, they have crucial role in controlling the population of pests in various ecosystems. although their importance is clear, but systematics and biodiversity of them has been poorly studied. the aim of this research, conducted in 2014, is to identify amphibians of talesh township and their biological roles in pest control. sampling procedure has been done...
