Summary: This study examined the ultramorphology of the antennae and proboscis sensilla of the poplar clearwing moth. It found sexual dimorphism in the structures and types of sensilla between males and females. The research provides a theoretical foundation for studying the behavioral mechanisms and functions of sensilla of this wood-boring pest.

Summary: This study evaluated different management alternatives for two pests attacking guava trees in the first productive nucleus of fruit trees in Colombia, Hoya del Rio Suarez (HRS). The best alternatives were chemical control and the fungus Lecanicillium lecanii under laboratory conditions, while in the field, the fungus Beauveria bassiana and cultural practices such as pruning and weed control showed positive results. The study suggests the use of synergies between cultural and biological management methods in IPM to reduce reliance on harmful chemical agents.

Summary: The genus Aschistophleps Hampson, 1893 was reviewed for Laos, and a new species was reported for the first time in the country. Two new species were described, and the mud-puddling behavior of males of these species was discussed. All materials are deposited in the collection of the A.N. Severtsov Institute for Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia (COGM).

Summary: The production cross sections of J/psi eta(c) and J/psi J/psi in e(+)e(-) annihilation were calculated with a one-loop accuracy near the Z-boson pole and at higher energies. It was found that the next-to-leading contribution at the Z mass increases the production cross sections by a factor of 3.5.

Summary: A new species of Oligophlebia, Oligophlebia hibiscivora, is described from southeastern China. It is similar to Oligophlebia insurgia but differs in external features and male genitalia. The larva feeds on Hibiscus tiliaceus and can be found in urban areas of Xiamen and Hongkong. Images and a catalog of Oligophlebia species are provided.

Summary: This study presents a distinctive photochemical E/Z isomerization strategy for the deracemization of α-branched aldehydes, which involves the use of simple aminocatalysts and readily available photosensitizers. The method enables the direct transformation of racemic α-branched aldehydes into enantiopure α-tertiary carbonyls with high selectivity.

Summary: This article reports that Z/E-2NH(2)-TPE molecules primarily undergo oxidative evolution rather than recognized isomerization. The oxide is separated and its structure is deciphered using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The oxidative evolution accompanying the rearrangement is explained through quantum theoretical calculations.

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) is a potential organic platform for light-activated charge-transfer reactions in photocatalytic cycles. The short excited-state lifetime of gCN limits its photocatalytic efficiency due to high density of trap and defect sites. Adding a silver co-catalyst to gCN enhances its reactivity by facilitating electron transfer from gCN to silver nanoparticles. The electron-transfer rate is competitive, making it an effective strategy for mitigating losses associated with defects and trap sites.

Summary: The study synthesized benzyloxyalkanols and investigated their nematicidal activity, finding that these compounds showed higher nematicidal activity than benzyl alcohol. Among them, BzC8OH and BzC9OH exhibited the strongest nematicidal activity, with LD50 values of 246.1 and 158.0 ppm, respectively, and no enzyme inhibitory activity. This suggests that benzyloxyalcohols could be a potential alternative nematicidal agent.

Summary: Through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of abdominal tip extracts from male and female Rusicada privata, the major sex pheromone was identified as 7-methylheptadecane (7Me-17Hy). Electroantennographic activity and field trapping experiments confirmed the effectiveness of synthetic lures containing 7Me-17Hy in attracting male R. privata. These findings will contribute to the development of sex pheromone-based control techniques for R. privata.
