The Correlation between Reproductive Behavior and Population Structure of Holometabolous Insects
Holometabolous insects are one kind of insect with special reproductive behavior. Their life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. In terms of mating, female insects usually choose the strongest males for breeding, while male insects compete for mating rights in various w... (22 Aug., 2023)
Analysis of Predation Strategies and Behavioral Ecology of Holometabolous Insects
Holometabolous insects refer to those insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, with distinct morphological differences between their larvae and adults. These insects exhibit high diversity and adaptability in their predation strategies and behavioral ecology. This paper provides a systemat... (14 Aug., 2023)

Culex quinquefasciatus
As one kind of cost-effective, efficient and environment-friendly materials for direct control of mosquitoes, botanicals have been widely concerned. The present study has evaluated the synergistic effect of different blends of seed methanolic extract of Cuscuta chinensis ( C. chinensis ) wit... (16 Apr., 2020)
Influence of Habitat Type in the Distribution and Abundance of Flying Insect Species in Kisumu National Polytechnic Implications for Food Security
Food security is challenged by loss of natural habitats that reflect in reduction of insect population which is an alternative source of protein and a pollinator for flowering plants. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of a habitat type in the distribution and abundance of flyin... (15 May, 2020)
Assessment of Mosquitocidal and Antibacterial Activities of Mixture of Different Extracts of
Curcuma amada
Rhizome and
Tamarindus indica
Leaves
Present study aimed at evaluation of mosquito larvicidal and antibacterial activities of mixture of crude and solvent extracts of Curcuma amada rhizome and Tamarindus indica leaf against Culex vishnui larvae and eight pathogenic bacteria. Larvicidal bioassay was performed by graded conce... (27 Sep., 2019)
Light-trap Catch of Microlepidoptera spec. indet. in Connection with the Gravitation Potential of Sun and Moon
This study deals with light-trap catching of Microlepidoptera spec. indet. in connection with the gravitation potential of Sun and Moon. During seven years 590,139 moths were caught by the 49 light-traps, in 1,479 nights. We could work up 21,761 observation data. The influence of the... (12 Oct., 2018)
Entomological Co-infections of Arboviruses: Dengue and Chikungunya Viruses along the Coastline of Kenya
Arthropod-borne disease outbreaks as a result of pathogen influx including arboviruses transmitted by strains of Aedes species occur periodically in varying spots in Kenya. However, there has been paucity of documented information on the Aedes species involved in transmission of different haploty... (09 Feb., 2018)
Potential Role of Mosquito Larvae
