Article Synopsis
- Volatile aroma compounds significantly influence insect behavior, with different species responding uniquely to specific odors, although the exact molecules responsible are often unidentified.
- Beer, containing a diverse range of plant and microbial aromas, serves as an effective attractant for various insects, prompting research into its chemical composition and effects on pest species like fruit flies.
- The study revealed that certain combinations of aroma compounds enhanced the specificity of traps for different insect species and genders, highlighting the potential for using complex natural scents to improve pest control strategies.

Soft plastic lures (SPLs) are commonly used artificial lures in recreational angling. Anglers regularly lose SPLs while fishing and there is little knowledge about the environmental impacts of lost SPLs. As with other plastic items, SPLs contain phthalates and other persistent additives that may leach into water.

Stoat and weasel are both fully protected in Denmark and are thought to be widely distributed throughout the country. Despite this stoat and weasel were listed on the Danish Red List as Near Threatened in 2019, as their densities and population trends are unknown.

Fast and effective monitoring and surveillance techniques are crucial for the swift implementation of control methods to prevent the spread of Huanglongbing, a devastating citrus disease, and its invasive psyllid vector, Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, into South Africa, as well as to control the native vector, African citrus triozid, Trioza erytreae. Monitoring for citrus psyllid pests can be improved by using semiochemical odorants to augment already visually attractive yellow sticky traps. However, environmental variables such as temperature and humidity could influence odorant release rates.
