abstract due to economical importance of stored product pests and resistance to conventional insecticides, it is necessary to use novel and suitable compounds in control programs. therefore, we evaluated the toxicity of spinosad to three important storage insect, red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum (herbst), rice weevil, sitophilus oryzae (l.), sawtoothed grain beetle oryzaephilus surinamensi...

Rove beetles of the tribe Quediini are abundant predators in humid microhabitats forested, open, synanthropic or subterranean ecosystems, with just over 800 species distributed across temperate and subtropical regions Northern Hemisphere. Previous molecular phylogenies included only a limited representation this diversity but have already indicated that Quedius, containing majority species, is ...

A review of Staphylinidae known from peat bogs of Belarus is presented with data on their distribution at various sites. The staphylinid fauna, as reported here, includes 66 species, 33 genera, and 10 subfamilies. The results showed a low species richness of rove beetles and a high occurrence of a small number of species. The regional zoogeography and composition of rove beetles in the Belarusi...

Redesigning cropping systems to promote natural pest control requires a sound understanding of the regulation potential enemies. Sentinel preys are useful quantify biological control, but use aphid cards (aphids glued sandpaper card) is controversial for their lack realism. The objectives here were: (1) compare non-fixed beetle larvae resembling coleopteran pests, with respect consumers attract...
