Within‐crown microclimatic variation and growth‐stage shape oak leaf chemistry with limited consequences for herbivore performance

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mature trees exhibit distinct vertical gradients in temperature and light. These within‐crown microclimatic gradients have been linked to spatial variation in leaf chemistry and herbivory.

Ozone‐driven degradation of sex pheromone in Plutella xylostella: Implications for reproductive communication and mating success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

A horizontally transferred bacterial gene for pantothenic acid biosynthesis regulates diapause and reproduction in the spider mite Amphitetranychus viennensis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
A bacterial‐derived AvPBL gene encoding a pantothenate‐β‐alanine ligase was identified in Amphitetranychus viennensis. RNAi silencing of AvPBL reduced pantothenic acid production, impairing reproduction and diapause induction, while pantothenic acid supplementation rescued these phenotypes.

Matrine–Tea Saponin Synergism Involves Suppressed Detoxification and Digestion in a Leaf Beetle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Tea saponin and matrine showed synergistic toxicity against Plagiodera versicolora. Combined exposure suppressed digestion‐ and detoxification‐related processes, while silencing the trypsin gene Pver105950 and chitinase gene Pver001190 increased larval susceptibility to tea saponin and matrine, respectively.

Heatwave‐Resilient Cuticular Microbiota Protect the Leaf Beetle Plagiodera versicolora From Fungal Infection

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves—extreme thermal events characterized by prolonged supra‐optimal temperatures—exert profound impacts on global ecosystem stability and species interactions. While the disruptive effects of thermal stress on host physiology and gut microbiota are well documented, the role of cuticular ...
