May furtive predation provide enemy free space in ant-tended aphid colonies? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In furtive predation, a predator is able to exploit its prey without generating significant defensive behaviors from them. However, in aphidophagous guild, if furtive predator can benefit from dilution effects generated by the aphids, they also suffer ...

Insecticidal Activity of Some Major Essential Oil Components against Metopolophium dirhodum and Its Predators [PDF]
PlantsEssential oils (EOs) are plant metabolites with important insecticidal effects. Nevertheless, information on the efficacy of the major substances on aphids and their natural enemies is still missing. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to identify

Does monogeny enable gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) to regulate their sex ratio?
European Journal of Entomology, 2012 Monogeny, the production of unisexual broods by individual females, is widely recorded in gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Theoretical models propose that the adjustment of offspring sex ratio by females may pre-dispose the evolution of monogeny in ...

Optimizing insect metabarcoding using replicated mock communities. [PDF]
Methods Ecol Evol, 2023 Abstract Metabarcoding (high‐throughput sequencing of marker gene amplicons) has emerged as a promising and cost‐effective method for characterizing insect community samples. Yet, the methodology varies greatly among studies and its performance has not been systematically evaluated to date.

The effect of ethanol concentration on the morphological and molecular preservation of insects for biodiversity studies. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Traditionally, insects collected for scientific purposes have been dried and pinned, or preserved in 70% ethanol. Both methods preserve taxonomically informative exoskeletal structures well but are suboptimal for preserving DNA for molecular biology ...
