hishing” is a new term widely popularized in mainstream media in the second half of 2003. It generally refers to any “sophisticated fishing” type of attack. Microsoft defines it as any type of attack that attempts to lure users to a fake Web site to enter in sensitive information that is then used for identity and banking theft. This normally occurs via an e-mail, directing users to a phishing ...

Organisms in the order Odonata are highly predatory insects that have a wide distribution globally. To date, there has been zero evidence that odonates employ luring as a means of prey acquisition. However, in this study, we show that Aeshna palmata larvae use abdominal movements to lure larval Argia vivida, subsequently consuming the lured organism. We also present findings of a similar behavi...

Bulbert and Wignall introduce the ways animals lure their prey.

Evaluation of combinations of flower odor compounds in northern Florida revealed that linalool was synergistic in attractiveness with phenylacetaldehyde (PAA) to the migratory moth velvetbean caterpillar ( Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner). This noctuid was the most common species collected from traps with a binary lure composed of PAA and linalool, with over 900 males and females collected in Sep ...

The harmonic balance (HB) principle is a powerful and convenient tool for finding periodic solutions in nonlinear systems. In the present paper, this principle is extended to transient processes in systems with one single-valued odd-symmetric nonlinearity and linear plant not having zeros in the transfer function, and named the dynamic HB. Based on the dynamic HB, first the equations for the am...

The improvement of trap-lure combinations is an important part of integrated pest management programs that involve monitoring pests for timely insecticide applications, or for their use in control strategies such as mass trapping or bait stations. In this study improvements in the capture of Drosophila suzukii were not observed following the inclusion of different color stimuli with respect to ...
