Title: Cost-Effective and Functional Emulsions Stabilized with Renewable particles

El grupo de Ecología Química (RUBAM-Research Unit on BioActive Molecules) del Instituto de Química Avanzada de Cataluña (IQAC–CSIC), dirigido por la Dra. Carme Quero, ha realizado un llamamiento a través de las redes sociales solicitando la colaboración ciudadana para la obtención de individuos de una especie plaga invasora. Se trata del insecto Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann 1910 (Heteroptera: Coreidae) (Figura 1), comúnmente conocido como chinche americano del pino y originario del oeste de Norteamérica. Tras su detección en Italia en 1999, fue posteriormente hallado en Cataluña en 2003, y desde entonces su rango de distribución se ha expandido a lo largo de la Península Ibérica y Europa.
