Lists have been published of the insect species found at elevators (E) (Hagstrum et al. 2010), mills (M) (Mahroof and Hagstrum 2012) and in commercial marketing channels (C) (Table 1.3 on p. 13 of Fundamentals of Stored-Product Entomology textbook). At elevators, 61 species were reported in 26 studies. At mills, 119 species were reported in 15 studies. In commercial marketing channels, 155 species were reported in 12 studies. Red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum, were present in 69.2% of 26 elevator studies, 81.3% of 15 flour or feed mills studies and 91.7% of 12 marketing system studies.
Here, we separate species found on all three lists from those found on only 1 or 2 lists. Commodity diversity and the number of insect species increase from elevator (whole grain) to mills (grain products) and from mill to commercial marketing channels. Following the list of insect species on 3, 2 or 1 of the lists is a list of all insect species sorted by the number of studies out of 53 in which each was found.
In Hagstrum et al. (2010), all species found in the elevator studies are given. In Mahroof and Hagstrum (2012), Table 1 includes only the 31 most common species and the “Table 1 Species per Mill” link below includes all of the insect species in studies. In the Fundamentals of Stored-Product Entomology textbook, Table 1.3 give only the total number of species for each study and the “Table 1.3 Species in Marketing system” link below includes all of the insect species in studies. Species names followed by asterisks are natural enemies.
