Florida Entomologist, 2014 Temperature plays a critical role in the population dynamics of insects. This study was designed to estimate the effect of exposure of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) in the parental generation to 41 °C for various durations (2, 6, 12, 24, and 36 h) on their reproduction and on the first generation progeny. The data indicated that, under both the

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Genes & Genetic Systems, 2009 In some arthropods, paternal chromosomes are inactivated or eliminated in adult males and are not transmitted to offspring by sperm. This unique chromosome system is called paternal genome loss (PGL). In scale insects (Hemiptera; superfamily Coccoidea), PGL is widespread and three types of PGL have been identified. The questions as to whether PGL is of

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 341-352, May 2024.This study suggests the small‐scale dispersal of a serious agricultural pest, two‐spotted spider mite among orchards and their adjacent landscapes through landscape‐ecological and population genetic analyses. The discovery that two‐spotted spider mite occurrence is influenced by landscape composition within approximately a 200 m radius surrounding ...

Parasitology, 1988 SummaryExperimental infection of adultDrymaplaneta variegataShelford, 1909 (Blattodea) with known numbers of eggs ofProtrellus dixoniZervos, 1987 (Nematoda: Thelastomatidae) showed that each infrapopulation was regulated by a density-dependent and sex-dependent reduction in infection intensity with infrapopulation age.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2009 The fig pollinating wasps (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) have obligate arrhenotoky and a breeding structure that fits local mate competition (LMC). It has been traditionally assumed that LMC organisms adjust the sex ratio by laying a greater proportion of male
