Endogenous toxins and the coupling of gregariousness to conspicuousness in Argidae and Pergidae sawflies. [PDF]
AbstractPhytophagous insects tend to be either cryptic and solitary, or brightly colored and gregarious, as a defense against vertebrate predators. Here, we tested whether potent defensive chemicals producedde novoby larvae of Argidae and Pergidae sawflies have influenced the evolutionary relationship between larval appearance and levels of ...

Chemical and visual ecology of the Symphyta
Abstract The Symphyta is the most basal sub‐order of the Hymenoptera and includes the woodwasps, horntails and sawflies, many of which are pests. Adults are generally short‐lived and as a result males and females experience strong selection to rapidly find a mate and females to find oviposition sites.

Host plant range of Aproceros leucopoda is limited within Ulmaceae
Although much research has been carried out to develop taxa resistant to Dutch elm disease (DED), newly occurring pests represent a new challenge for the protection of elms (Ulmacae). The invasive zigzag elm sawfly (Aproceros leucopoda) is a recent invader of Asian origin in Europe defoliating elm trees that are otherwise often characterized with major

Abstract The invasive sawfly Aproceros leucopoda causes severe defoliation of various elm species and thus can be a major pest in forest stands and urban environments. The overwintering biology of A. leucopoda has not been investigated so far; therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the cold tolerance strategy and cold hardiness of ...
