The citrus red mite (CRM), Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), a worldwide pest chiefly infesting Citrus plants, has spread from Southern China to Northern China. Little information is known about the population performance of CRM on the plants except for citrus trees and pear trees. In order to evaluate the extent of damage might caused by CRM to the fruit trees cultivated in Northern China, the performance of CRM on four Rosaceae species, including three main fruit tree species (pear-Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai cv.

Recycling food waste by feeding it to insects can result in the continuous production of high-quality animal feed protein and organic fertilizer. However, the bioconversion efficiency and safety of using insects as feed protein for animal breeding are important factors limiting the development of this technology. Therefore, we aimed to optimize the efficiency of bioconversion of food waste using Lucilia sericata maggot (LSM).

Empirical data on decomposition ecology have long established blowflies (Calliphoridae) and flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) (Diptera) as the most frequent colonizers of carrion, especially at early stages of decomposition. However, the scarcity of studies based on human cadavers has hindered inferences about colonization of homicide victims in real case scenarios. We describe here a survey of insects associated with cadavers retrieved from the site of death in Northeastern Brazil, with emphasis on the association between species diversity and the surrounding environment.
