The almond bark beetle, Geurin-Meneville, is responsible for significant loss of fruit production in almond orchards throughout the world. Here, we studied the damage and the incidences of attack on two different scales: (1) at the level of a single tree; and (2) in an entire orchard. Our results revealed no differences in attack level among four orientations (east, west, south and north sides) for the whole tree.

- A new family called Urolibellulidae has been established for a newly identified genus and species, Urolibellula eocenica, which is based on a fossil dragonfly found in the Eocene Green River Formation in the USA.
- This new family is considered to be closely related to the existing family Libellulidae and is seen as its sister group.
- Since the oldest known libellulid dragonfly dates back to the Turonian period, it suggests that the Urolibellulidae must also date back to at least the Late Cretaceous period.
