National Laboratory of Nanotechnology, National Center of High Technology, San José, 1174-1200, Costa Rica.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new sonochemical method for creating ultra-small silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) under 15 nm, which are stable and quasi-spherical in shape.
- Various analytical techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy and electron microscopy, were used to analyze the properties of these nanoparticles, confirming their size and purity.
- The AgNPs demonstrated significant stability in both optical properties and size when exposed to UV radiation and different storage temperatures over extended periods.
Role of seed size, phenology, oogenesis and host distribution in the specificity and genetic structure of seed weevils (Curculio spp.) in mixed forests.

Synchrony between seed growth and oogenesis is suggested to largely shape trophic breadth of seed-feeding insects and ultimately to contribute to their co-existence by means of resource partitioning or in the time when infestation occurs. Here we investigated: (i) the role of seed phenology and sexual maturation of females in the host specificity of seed-feeding weevils (Curculio spp.) predating in hazel and oak mixed forests; and (ii) the consequences that trophic breadth and host distribution have in the genetic structure of the weevil populations.
