Forecasting the spread associated with climate change in Eastern Europe of the invasive Asiatic flea beetle, Luperomorpha xanthodera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2020
The current climate has facilitated biological invasions worldwide, with the spread of invasive species accelerating over the last few decades. Introductions of species are often accidental and facilitated by many factors, including intercontinental ...

Pleistocene environments, climate, and human activity in Britain during Marine Isotope Stage 7: insights from Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 840-865, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Investigations at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire, in western England have revealed a sequence of fluvial deposits dating from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 to 5. At the base of the sequence, a series of gravel and sand facies were deposited, initially as part of a meandering river.

Spatiotemporal isolation of oilseed rape fields reduces insect pest pressure and crop damage

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1388-1398, July 2023., 2023
We find that there is no one fits all approach in designing landscapes for flea beetle regulation as habitat use and scales of effect are species‐specific for these pests. However, increasing the spatiotemporal isolation of host crop fields is a promising and potentially more general means of disrupting pest populations and reducing crop damage ...

Cryptic, sibling or neither of the two? Integrative species delimitation of Psylliodes flea beetles with overlapping ranges

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 235-248, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Species identification and delimitation are particularly challenging for morphologically similar and geographically overlapping species, such as in the case of Western Palaearctic flea beetle species Psylliodes kiesenwetteri Kutschera, 1864 and Psylliodes ruffoi Leonardi, 1975.

Hiding among holes: mechanisms underlying the evolution of masquerade in flea beetles (Chrysomelidae)

Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 137-145, April 2022., 2022
Flea beetles present a masquerading strategy: similarities between beetle bodies and their feeding damage may act as a defence that reduces detection by visual predators. We assess two hypotheses about the evolutionary origin of the masquerading: (H1) the plant leaves' characteristics select beetle morphology; (H2) beetle morphology selects feeding ...

Floral attraction and flower visitors of a subcanopy, tropical rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10468-10482, August 2021., 2021
Pollinators beneath the rainforest canopy occupy a unique microclimate that is markedly different from the canopy environment that receives more light energy. We studied the floral attractants and floral visitors of a dioecious, subcanopy rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma (Euphorbiaceae), in northern Australia.

Notes on Longitarsus aphthonoides Weise 1887 and on the species groups of L. lateripunctatus (Rosenhauer 1856) and L. curtus (Allard 1860) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)

Natural History Sciences, 2021
The aim of this study is to deepen the knowledge of five poorly studied Longitarsus species in order to elucidate their taxonomic position within the genus.
