Wasp Size and Prey Load in Cerceris fumipennis (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae): Implications for Biosurveillance of Pest Buprestidae

The relationship between predator and prey size was studied in the buprestid hunting wasp Cerceris fumipennis Say in eight widely distributed nesting aggregations in North Carolina, USA.Initial work indicated a significant linear relationship between wasp head width and wasp wet weight; thus, head width was used to estimate wasp body mass in subseq

Benzothiazolylhydrazone-Based Turn-on Fluorescent Probe for Detecting Cu2+: S-donor as a Cu2+-induced Fluorescence Quenching Inhibitor

The fluorescent turn-on detection of metal ions is highly desirable for public health and environmental security.Herein, we report a rationally designed fluorescent probe (1) for the detection of Cu2+ synthesized by integrating 2-hydrazinylbenzothiazole with Wet Food 3-acetyl-7-hydroxycoumarin.The probe alone is non-fluorescent due to the isomeriza
