A single population of earwigs was sampled in three types of orchard (organic, conventional and integrated pest management) and compared with each other. Mutations and higher expression levels in genes known to confer resistance were identified. These results highlight the effect of p...
On smooth surfaces, insects attach themselves using their tarsal adhesive devices, such as hairy pads (for example flies, beetles, earwigs), or smooth flexible pads called arolia, pulvilli and euplantulae (for example cockroaches, ants, aphids, grasshoppers, bugs, butterflies, moths)5,10,11....
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the effects of different land-use systems on soil physicochemical properties. Separation of the means of the soil properties was performed using the Tukey HSD test (p< 0.05). Correlations between macrofauna abundance and some selected soil...
