Indoxacarb (Arilon 20WG) was evaluated against a nuisance pest, the European earwig (Forficula auricularia), and was found to be an effective contact toxicant with residual activity on substrates commonly encountered in urban environments. Within 16 h of being directly sprayed with indoxacarb, ≥90% of earwigs from two populations were either ataxic, moribund, or dead, and 100% displayed these s...

The expediency of using unique SSR DNA-markers Schizophyllum commune for population genetic assays in various fungal species has been demonstrated. In Auricularia auricula-judae and Irpex lacteus, we observed formation heterogeneous amplicons mostly up to 500 bp length that ensured their high resolution facilitated data analysis. established sets molecular markers are efficient DNA-fingerprinti...
