Evidence suggests that evolutionary precursors of Homo sapiens were entomophagous and arachnophagous. Insectivory also features to various degrees amongst extant primates , such as marmosets and tamarins , [ 19 ] and some researchers suggest that the earliest primates were nocturnal , arboreal insectivores. [ 10 ]
Insects, [4] nematodes [5] and fungi [6] that obtain their nutrition from insects are sometimes termed entomophagous, especially in the context of biological control applications. These may also be more specifically classified into predators , parasites or parasitoids , while viruses , bacteria and fungi that grow on or inside insects may also ...
Nematodes emerging from a wax moth larva cadaver. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are a group of nematodes (thread worms), that cause death to insects. The term entomopathogenic has a Greek origin, with entomon, meaning insect, and pathogenic, which means causing disease.
Entomophaga is a genus of entomopathogenic fungi in the Entomophthoraceae family and also the order Entomophthorales. [2] This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).
Pelvic pain is pain in the area of the pelvis. Acute pain is more common than chronic pain. [2] If the pain lasts for more than six months, it is deemed to be chronic pelvic pain. [3] [4] It can affect both the male and female pelvis. Common causes in include: endometriosis in women, bowel adhesions, irritable bowel syndrome, and interstitial ...
Unlike many other insect pathogens (entomopathogenic viruses, nematodes, or bacteria), most entomopathogenic fungi do not require entry through ingestion or oral intake and instead directly attack the insect cuticle and penetrate the insect body through the exoskeleton. [3]
The fungus causes high levels of infection among spongy moths in both low and high density populations, leading to population crashes. Early instars of infected moths typically eject conidia when they die in tree canopies, further infecting later instars containing spores of the fungus but no outward fungal growth.
Polistes apachus is a social wasp native to western North America. [2] It is known in English by the common name Texas paper wasp, [3] [4] or southwestern Texas paper wasp. [5] It has also been called the Apache wasp, perhaps first by Simmons et al. in California in 1948.
