Dietary and olfactory effects of fermenting apple juice on reproductive diapause in Drosophila moriwakii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, December 2025.
Females of Drosophila moriwakii enter reproductive diapause (characterized by undeveloped ovaries) under longdaylengths when reared with the standard medium in large cages in which theycan fly freely. Our experiments demonstrated that the proportion of females in diapause decreased drastically even under these conditions, when females were reared with ...

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 664-674, December 2025.
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence

Environmental and phytohormone modulation of organ‐specific specialized metabolite profiles in the dryland tree Erythrina velutina

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1326-1340, December 2025.
Erythrina velutina organ‐specific specialized metabolism is modulated by environmental stress and phytohormones to mitigate effects of the harsh semi‐arid habitat. Abstract Erythrina velutina is a tree that thrives in the shallow rocky soils of the dry and hot Caatinga, a unique Brazilian biome.

Semi‐tilling maintains the arthropod food web structure but decreases biological pest control in olive groves

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 3, Page 345-355, November 2025.
Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.
