New thinking for filth fly control: residual, non‐chemical wall spray from volcanic glass

Chen, K., Deguenon, J. M., Cave, G., Denning, S. S., Reiskind, M. H., Watson, D. W., … Roe, R. M. (2021, May 3). Medical and Veterinary Entomology.

By: K. Chen n, J. Deguenon n, G. Cave n, S. Denning n, M. Reiskind n , D. Watson n, D. Stewart, D. Gittins ...

author keywords: Grey flesh fly; house fly; Imergard™ WP; mechanical insecticide; secondary screwworm
MeSH headings : Animals; Culicidae; Houseflies; Insecticides
topics (OpenAlex): Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies; Mosquito-borne diseases and control; Insect Pest Control Strategies
TL;DR: These first studies on the use of Imergard WP against flies suggest this could be an alternative method for filth fly control, unlike that for mosquitoes where it was found mostly on the lower legs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Carbon Neutral: The Failure of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) to Affect Dung-Generated Greenhouse Gases in the Pasture

Fowler, F., Denning, S., Hu, S., Watson, W., & Schmidt, J. (2020, July 22). Environmental Entomology, Vol. 49, pp. 1105–1116.

By: F. Fowler n, S. Denning n, S. Hu n , W. Watson n & J. Schmidt

author keywords: dung beetle; tunneling; dwelling; greenhouse gas; dung decomposition
MeSH headings : Affect; Animals; Carbon Dioxide; Cattle; Coleoptera; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gases / analysis; Methane; Nitrous Oxide; Soil
