Cockroaches traverse crevices, crawl rapidly in confined spaces, and inspire a soft, legged robot Publish Date: 2015-12-29 Author/Source: Kaushik Jayarama and Robert J. Full Description: Once inside vertically confined spaces, cockroaches still locomoted rapidly at 20 body lengths per second using an unexplored mode of locomotion—body-friction legged crawling. Cockroach exoskeletons provided inspiration for a soft, legged search-and-rescue robot that may penetrate rubble generated by tornados, earthquakes, or explosions.

http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/12/17/1517685113.abstract.html?etoc Publish Date: 2015-11-20 Author/Source: Insu Koha,1, Eric V. Lonsdorfa,b, Neal M. Williamsc, Claire Brittainc, Rufus Isaacsd, Jason Gibbsd, and Taylor H. Ricketts Description: We use a spatial habitat model, national land-cover data, and carefully quantified expert knowledge to estimate wild bee abundance and associated uncertainty. Between 2008 and 2013, modeled bee abundance declined across 23% of US land area. This decline was generally associated with conversion of natural habitats to row crops.

Mark-Release-Recapture Reveals Extensive Movement of Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) within and between Apartments Publish Date: 2015-09-15 Author/Source: Richard Cooper, Changlu Wang, Narinderpal Singh Description: We investigated bed bug movement within and between apartments using mark-release-recapture (m-r-r) technique combined with apartment-wide monitoring using pitfall-style interceptors. Bed bugs were collected, marked, and released in six apartments. The distribution of marked and unmarked bed bugs in these apartments and their 24 neighboring units were monitored over 32 days. Extensive movement of marked bed bugs within and between apartments occurred regardless of the number of bed bugs released or presence/absence of a host.

E-commerce trade in invasive plants Publish Date: 2015-06-15 Author/Source: Franziska Humair, Luc Humair, Fabian Kuhn and Christoph Kueffer Description: Our results indicate that biosecurity is not effectively regulating online plant trade. In the future, automated monitoring of e-commerce may help prevent the spread of invasive species, provide information on emerging trade connectivity across national borders, and be used in horizon scanning exercises for early detection of new species and their geographic source areas in international trade.

Financial competitiveness of organic agriculture on a global scale Publish Date: 2015-05-01 Author/Source: David W. Crowdera,1 and John P. Reganoldb Description: Although organic agriculture is rapidly growing, it currently occupies only 1% of global cropland.We found that, in spite of lower yields, organic agriculture was significantly more profitable than conventional agriculture and has room to expand globally. Moreover, with its environmental benefits, organic agriculture can contribute a larger share in sustainably feeding the world.

Role of Vision and Mechanoreception in Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius L. Behavior (PDF) Publish Date: 2015-03-06 Author/Source: Narinderpal Singh, Changlu Wang, Richard Cooper Description: We investigated bed bug vision by determining their responses to different colors, vertical objects, and their ability to detect colors and vertical objects under low and complete dark conditions. Results show black and red paper harborages are preferred compared to yellow, green, blue, and white harborages. A bed bug trapping device with a black or red exterior surface was significantly more attractive to bed bugs than that with a white exterior surface. Bed bugs exhibited strong orientation behavior toward vertical objects. States/Regions: Mid-Atlantic, National, New England, Northeast, Southeast
