The most incredible diversity, abundance, spread, and adaptability in biology are found in insects. The foundation of insect study and pest management is insect recognition. However, most of the current insect recognition research depends on a small numb...

Bacillus thuringiensis is an effective entomopathogen, and its crystal toxin expressed in transgenic crops has been widely used for pest control. However, insect resistance risk is the main threat to the continued successful utility of Bt crops. Several ...

In cultivated landscapes, grasslands are an important land use type for insect life. Grassland management practices can have a significant impact on insect ecology. For example, intense fertilization and frequent cutting can reduce the diversity and abun...

Measurable ecological data, e.g., species diversity, provide inadequate information for achieving the comprehensive protection of biodiversity, because human acceptance attitudes can be important factors in undermining nature protection schemes. We have ...

Plant domestication is a process in which plants? chemical defenses that help them cope with herbivores might decline. Consequences of this process could be reflected in an increase in insect pests. Therefore, we carried out a survey to contrast the dive...

The family Orchidaceae with approximately 17000-35000 species is considered to be one of the largest families in the plant kingdom (Atwood 1986; Dressler 1993). Even though this family is evolutionarily young, orchids show an extraordinary diversity of e...

Habitat fragmentation and habitat loss may affect insect abundance. Generally, small and isolated plant fragments support a depressed abundance of insects because of a lower resource abundance compared to that in large ones. Nevertheless, immediately aft...
