Global Prices of Pollination-dependent Products such as Coffee and Cocoa Could Continue to Rise in the Long Term
In recent years the economic value of pollination-dependent crops has substantially increased around the world. As a team of researchers from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), the Technical University of Dresden and the University of Freiburg headed by the UFZ wrote in an article entitled "Spatial and temporal trends of global pollination benefit" in the open-access...

Protecting wood with citrus
One of the most widespread ways to protect wood from organisms' attacks is to use chemicals. However, due to the risks its usage involves (toxic for the user, pollution of the environment"), the interest to obtain a more effective but non-polluting protector has increased. Nowadays, the research of active matter with biocide effects has become one of the most interesting research lines to... View More (2002-10-14)
Ume'å scientist presents discoveries about natural immunity in Science
A team including scientists at UCMP (Ume'å Center for Molecular Pathogenesis), a research unit at Ume'å University, shows in last week's issue of the journal Science that the protein PGRP-LC plays a crucial role in so-called innate immunity. Professor Dan Hultmark, post-doctoral fellow Svenja Stöven, and doctoral candidate Thomas Werner at UCMP are focusing their attention on the... View More (2002-03-04)
AgriLife Research zeroes in on potato disease insect
Do potato psyllids migrate from one location to the next, starting in northern Mexico and moving northward as the potato season progresses, or are psyllid populations local? View More (2012-06-28)
Predatory beetles eavesdrop on ants' chemical conversations to find best egg-laying sites
Predatory beetles can detect the unique alarm signal released by ants that are under attack by parasitic flies, and the beetles use those overheard conversations to guide their search for safe egg-laying sites on coffee bushes. View More (2012-08-06)
New Anglo-Swiss research questions impact of GM wheat on insects
An Anglo-Swiss research project has found that the impact of disease-resistant genetically-modified wheat plants on insects may be negligible. View More (2011-01-24)
Obesity Crisis in Insects? Not a Problem, Says Expert
Ever seen a fat insect? Probably not. Dr. Spencer Behmer may have the answer why, and that could have implications for what is billed as the current human obesity epidemic. View More (2006-09-22)
Male flower parts responsible for potent grapevine perfume: UBC research
University of British Columbia scientists have traced the fragrant scent of grapevine flowers to pollen grains stored in the anthers, contrary to common perception that petals alone produce perfume. View More (2009-04-07)
Insurgental Biological Warfare Against Gipsy Moth
Specialists of the Institute of Taxonomy and Ecology of Animals (Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences) investigate peculiarities of struggle against Asian populations of Gipsy moth - one of the most widespread and economically significant forest pests. The methods applied in the North America and Europe do not work with Asian populations of the vermin. In Siberia, the climate is... View More (2005-04-29)
Old developmental pathways spawn revolutionary evolutionary changes
When the larvae of the primitive social insect Polistes metricus, a paper wasp, slips into the quiet pupal stage, she doesn't know if she'll arise a worker or gyne (future queen) - unless she consults with Arizona State University's social insect researcher Gro Amdam. View More (2007-09-07)
Caterpillars mimic one another for survival
In the world of insects, high risk of attack has led to the development of camouflage as a means for survival, especially in the larval stage. View More (2011-12-19)
Island-scale study reveals climate-change effects
A large-scale UC Davis experiment with ants, lizards and seaweed on a dozen Caribbean islands shows that predicting the effects of environmental change on complex natural ecosystems requires a large laboratory. View More (2011-01-31)
Transistor in the Fly Antenna
Highly developed antennae containing different types of olfactory receptors allow insects to use minute amounts of odors for orientation towards resources like food, oviposition sites or mates. View More (2013-03-18)
Extinction
Two teams of British scientists have produced the best evidence yet that our planet is experiencing a mass extinction. Two separate papers, published in Science 19 March and funded largely by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) highlight the serious concerns that have been growing among the world's scientists for over ten years. John Lawton, chief executive of NERC and co-author of... View More (2004-03-18)
Gentech breakthough for ecological Chrysanthemums
Researchers at Plant Research International in the Netherlands have achieved a breakthrough in the development of chrysanthemums with resistance to thrips, bringing the ecological cultivation of chrysanthemums a step closer. This is the conclusion of the thesis with which Seetharam Annadana, a Plant Research International guest member of staff from India, recently obtained his doctorate at... View More (2001-12-13)
Invasive false brome grass is spreading, but Oregon's insects are biting
After hiking in Oregon, a University of Oregon plant biologist suggests, people may want to brush off their shoes and comb through their dogs in an effort to curb the spread of an invasive grass that is expanding its range. View More (2011-11-15)
Bees see super color at super speed
Bees see the world almost five times faster than humans, according to new research from scientists at Queen Mary, University of London. View More (2010-03-18)
Biological clocks of insects could lead to more effective pest control
Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that the circadian rhythms or biological "clocks" in some insects can make them far more susceptible to pesticides at some times of the day instead of others. View More (2009-08-13)
Available information on the free release of genetically modified insects into the wild is highly restricted
While genetically modified plants have already been introduced into the wild on a large scale in some parts of the world, the release of genetically modified animals is still at a relatively early stage. View More (2012-02-02)
Cambrian fossil pushes back evolution of complex brains
The remarkably well-preserved fossil of an extinct arthropod shows that anatomically complex brains evolved earlier than previously thought and have changed little over the course of evolution. View More (2012-10-11)
