Tracking of Host Defenses and Phylogeny During the Radiation of Neotropical Inga-Feeding Sawflies (Hymenoptera; Argidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Coevolutionary theory has long predicted that the arms race between plants and herbivores is a major driver of host selection and diversification. At a local scale, plant defenses contribute significantly to the structure of herbivore assemblages and the

Behavior and body size modulate the defense of toxin-containing sawfly larvae against ants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The sawfly larvae of most Argidae and Pergidae (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) species contain toxic peptides, and these along with other traits contribute to their defense.

Number and location of rDNA clusters in the superfamilies Tenthredinoidea and Cynipoidea (Hymenoptera): an update [PDF]
Comparative CytogeneticsTo identify nucleolus organizing regions (NORs), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA probe was performed on chromosomes of Tenthredo campestris Linnaeus, 1758 (Tenthredinidae), Arge ciliaris (Linnaeus, 1767) (Argidae) (n = 10 in both)

Bionomics of the Non-Native Elm Defoliator Aproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera, Argidae) in North-Eastern Italy [PDF]
InsectsAproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera: Argidae) is an East-Asian pest of Ulmus spp. that has spread across Europe since the 2000s and, more recently, to North America, causing repeated defoliation of host plants. Laboratory studies have suggested four or five

Preemptive Circular Defence of Immature Insects: Definition and Occurrences of Cycloalexy Revisited
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2014 Cycloalexy was coined by Vasconcellos-Neto and Jolivet in 1988 and further defined by Jolivet and collaborators in 1990 in reference to a specific type of circular defence. The term has been applied to numerous organisms, including adult insects, nymphs,

Floral display and habitat fragmentation: Effects on the reproductive success of the threatened mass-flowering Conospermum undulatum (Proteaceae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 Plant reproductive susceptibility to habitat fragmentation has been investigated in many species; however, the response of wild mass‐flowering species is poorly known. Here, we studied the reproductive output and mating system of twelve remnant populations of the threatened mass‐flowering shrub Conospermum undulatum in the southwest Australian ...
