Interspecific competition leads to more long‐winged morphs in two sympatric cricket species
Interspecific competition between two sympatric species of ground crickets, Dianemobius nigrofasciatus and Polionemobius taprobanensis, was examined. Polionemobius taprobanensis was more dominant than D. nigrofasciatus in the interspecific competition. The inferior species, D.

We describe for the first time the detailed mating behaviour and patterns of repeated copulations in the water scorpion Nepa hoffmanni (Nepidae, Hemiptera). Over repeated copulations, copulation duration decreased while guarding duration increased. Additionally, we found that average guarding duration was positively associated with male leg length and ...

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests
Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,
