Second, set out bins of water laced with mosquito Kryptonite: Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), a harmless bacterial species that kills their larvae and lasts for weeks. Buy some for all your neighbors, too. 2/n #mosquito #mosquitoes #bti #bacteria #ipm #water colinpurrington.com/2024/08/bt

Colin Purrington's blog · Bti honeypot traps for killing mosquito larvae » Colin Purrington's blogAn easy way to kill thousands of mosquitoes each summer is to drop some Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (abbreviated to “Bti”) into containers filled with stagnant water. The photograph below shows one fashioned out of a litter box, but any large container will work. Then just lob in a Mosquito Dunk (made by Summit) or any […]

New on Entomology Today: To identify natural enemies of Ommatissus lybicus, a key pest of date palms also known as the Dubas bug, researchers collected nearly 7,000 arthropod specimens from date palm plantations in Oman and analyzed their gut contents for traces of the bug's DNA. They found at least 56 species that feed on the Dubas bug, a treasure trove of knowledge for future biological control efforts. #entomology #insects #biocontrol #IPM entomologytoday.org/2025/01/10

Loss, Grief and Existential Awareness; An Integrative Approach by Mai-Britt Guldin & Carlo Leget, 2024

Loss, Grief and Existential Awareness introduces the integrated process model (IPM), a new interdisciplinary and interprofessional model for grief research, education, and accompaniment that distinguishes and integrates five dimensions of grief: physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual.

Central in this book is the insight that grief is connected to love because it is rooted in losing what is meaningful and dear to us. Once we recognize this, grief can become a window to existential awareness. Combining research on the physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual dimensions of grief, the integrated process approach connects this quest for a personal and authentic answer to the big questions in life with the philosophical and therapeutic tradition of existential thinking. Structured in an accessible, informative manner with gradual information building, the book presents the IPM approach at the beginning and then turns to it as a model throughout the book, so the reader gradually will start to deepen their understanding and memorize the framework. The structure is enhanced with boxes with existential reflections and exercises to engage the reader and case presentations of grieving persons who are followed throughout the book. This book is meant for everyone who is interested in a deeper understanding of how loss and grief can help open the door to a more meaningful way of living. It is especially helpful for healthcare professionals, therapists, counsellors, chaplains, and researchers.

New on Entomology Today: A single pesticide treatment after fall's first frost can eliminate blacklegged ticks through the following spring, according to a recent study in Connecticut. Dropping the now-standard spring tick treatment can save homeowners money and greatly reduce risk to nontarget insects and arthropods that are active in spring. #entomology #ticks #IPM entomologytoday.org/2024/10/31

New on Entomology Today: Researchers in Japan have built a rolling robotic suction machine designed to draw in sweetpotato whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) and reduce their numbers on tomato plants in greenhouses. Early testing shows promise, and the scientists hope the machine could be developed and modified in the future for autonomous field use and to target a variety of pests. #entomology #insects #IPM entomologytoday.org/2024/06/06

New on Entomology Today: By comparing ratios of hydrogen isotopes in corn earworm moths with a map of those ratios in rainwater, researchers have developed a clearer picture of how and where the moths migrate across North and South America. The findings advance understanding of gene flow and insecticide resistance spread among corn earworms and can improve integrated pest management practices. #entomology #insects #IPM entomologytoday.org/2024/06/05
