UC Davis research could lead to no scent, no sex for the Japanese beetle
If a male Japanese beetle is unable to detect the sex pheromone released by a female, he won't be able to locate her and reproduce. view more (2008-06-30)
Japanese beetle may help fight hemlock-killing insect
The eastern hemlock, a tall, long-lived coniferous tree that shelters river and streamside ecosystems throughout the eastern United States and Canada, is in serious danger of extinction because a tiny, non-native insect is literally sucking the life out of it. view more (2007-09-11)
The flourbeetle's genome sequenced for the first time
An international research consortium with the participation of a research team led by Professor Cornelis Grimmelikhuijzen from the Department of Biology, has sequenced the genome from the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. view more (2008-03-26)
Holy Guacamole: NC State Researcher Tracks Invasive Beetle Threatening Florida's Avocados
A researcher at North Carolina State University is tracking the movement of the Redbay Ambrosia beetle, an invasive insect that, if it spreads to southeast Florida, may severely affect the production of avocados, a $15 million to $30 million industry in the state. view more (2009-02-05)
Complex dynamics underlie bark beetle eruptions
Forest management that favors single tree species and climate change are just two of the critical factors making forests throughout western North America more susceptible to infestation by bark beetles, according to an article published in the June 2008 BioScience. view more (2008-06-02)
Mystery behind the strongest creature in the world
The strongest creature in the world, the Hercules Beetle, has a colour-changing trick that scientists have long sought to understand. view more (2008-03-11)
Guam rhino beetles got rhythm
In May 2008 the island of Guam became a living laboratory for scientists as they attached acoustic equipment to coconut trees in order to listen for rhinoceros beetles. view more (2009-04-14)
Heart deaths increase on "unlucky" days
Chinese and Japanese people are more likely to die from heart disease on the fourth day of the month because the number 4 evokes superstitious stress among this group, finds a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. view more (2001-12-19)
Rove beetles act as warning signs for clear-cutting consequences
New research from the University of Alberta and the Canadian Forest Service has revealed the humble rove beetle may actually have a lot to tell us about the effects of harvesting on forests species. view more (2007-06-13)
K-State contributions to red flour beetle genome sequencing featured in March 27 issue of Nature
Most of us hate to find the red flour beetle living happily in the flour sack in our pantries. But for several scientists at Kansas State University, and many others throughout the world, this pest of stored grain and grain products is the best organism for studying genetics. view more (2008-03-24)
Risk Of Hepatitis E From Consumption Of Deer? (p 371)
Japanese authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that hepatitis E infection may be transmitted by consumption of Sika deer, a Japanese delicacy. Hepatitis E is rare in economically developed countries. An animal route (zoonosis) has been suggested for hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, despite a lack of... view more... (2003-07-30)
Beetle dung helps forests recover from fire
Armed with a pair of tweezers and a handful of beetle droppings, University of Alberta forestry graduate Tyler Cobb has discovered why the bug-sized dung is so important to areas ravaged by fire. view more (2007-12-04)
A plum assignment
Plums: they're sweet, juicy, and packed with beneficial antioxidants and dietary fiber. Although there are many varieties available to consumers, there are two main types of the small, purple fruit: Japanese plums and European plums. view more (2008-09-30)
Researchers discover key gene involved in bark beetle pheromone production
University of Nevada, Reno scientists have ended a decade-long controversy over the process by which bark beetles make pheromones: they manufacture their own monoterpenes - the fragrant substances plants produce and which are often used in perfumes. view more (2005-06-28)
New Sequencing Technique Could Boost Pine Beetle Fight, Improve Cancer Research
UBC researchers have helped developed a cheaper, faster way to compile draft genome sequences that could advance the fight against mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestation and improve cancer research. view more (2009-09-16)
K-State researchers study gene regulation in insects
Susan Brown, an associate professor of biology at Kansas State University, is interested in how evolution generates so much diversity in insects shapes and forms. view more (2006-04-28)
Japanese patients want more involvement in making treatment decisions
The paternalistic attitude of Japanese physicians towards their patients is outdated. According to a new study in BMC Family Practice, patients in Japan want to play a more active role in making decisions about their treatment. The study found that, "the majority of Japanese patients have positive attitudes towards participation in medical... view more... (2004-02-24)
Laurel Wilt of Redbay and Sassafras: Will Avocados be Next?
Scientists with the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS), Iowa State University, and the Florida Division of Forestry have provided the first description of a fungus responsible for the wilt of redbay trees along the coasts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. view more (2008-04-03)
New Southern California beetle killing oaks
U.S. Forest Service scientists have completed a study on a beetle that was first detected in California in 2004, but has now attacked 67 percent of the oak trees in an area 30 miles east of San Diego. view more (2009-05-04)
When it comes to emotions, Eastern and Western cultures see things very differently: Study
A team of researchers from Canada and Japan have uncovered some remarkable results on how eastern and western cultures assess situations very differently. view more (2008-03-06)
