Elevating Omophoita octoguttata elytralis Bechyné, 1956 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) to species [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2023 An updated morphological description for Omophoita elytralis (Bechyné, 1956), stat. nov., is presented, including the first account of the genitalia for this species. The separation Omophoita elytralis from O.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
