Abstract:
... The field of urban entomology is primarily associated with the study of ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, termites, and other occasional invader pests that are found within or near human-made structures. A wide array of peer-reviewed studies were published in 2018. The topics of these articles ranged from genomes and basic biology of urban insects to various applied aspects of pest management. Key find ...

Abstract:
... Dispersal is a key ecological process affecting community dynamics and the maintenance of populations. There is increasing awareness of the need to understand individual dispersal potential to better inform population-level dispersal, allowing more accurate models of the spread of invasive and beneficial insects, aiding crop and pest management strategies. Here, fine-scale movements of Poecilus cu ...

Abstract:
... During the Green Revolution, older classes of insecticides contributed to biodiversity loss by decreasing insect populations and bioaccumulating across food webs. Introduction of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) improved stewardship of insecticides and promised fewer non-target effects. IPM adoption has waned in recent decades, and popularity of newer classes of insecticides, like the neonicotinoi ...
