The insidious flower bug, Orius insidiosus (Say) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), is a generalist predator that feeds on western thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), larvae and adults. Our study involved series of experiments conducted under laboratory greenhouse conditions from 2017 to 2020 to: 1) determine the number bug adults should be released manage thrips po...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith) is an emerging polyphagous pest. Its primary food the corn cob, which suffers significant damage with its larvae skeletonizing or “windowing” leaves. Only larval stage seriously risky and small large communities as well researchers have used a variety of control methods A number low-cost mitigation strategies are available these include encou...

UV light-induced fluorescence is widely used as a key to reveal residual shell colour patterns of Neogene and Palaeogene molluscs. However, only few examples fluorescent are known from Mesozoic marine shells little about the nature in fossils. Here, reveals previously unseen abundance diversity basal pectinid Pleuronectites laevigatus Middle Triassic Muschelkalk Central Europe. In addition vari...

Species in Phellinus s.s. are some of the most important wood-decaying fungal pathogens in northern temperate forests, yet data on species incidence in North America remains limited. Therefore, phylogenetic analyses were performed using four loci (ITS, nLSU, tef1 and rpb2) with isolates representing 13 species. Results of phylogenetic analyses using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference rev...
