Observations of oviposition behaviour in the long‐tailed wasp Megalyra fasciipennis Westwood, 1832 (Hymenoptera: Megalyridae)

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 889-893, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Megalyridae is a small family of mostly Southern Hemisphere parasitoid wasps, with the females of some species having ovipositors up to eight times their body length. The largest genus, Megalyra, is represented by 22 Australian species. Despite the conspicuous morphology of females, the biology of this family is relatively poorly known, with ...

What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

Reducing Postharvest Loss of Stored Grains Using Plant‐Based Biopesticides: A Review of Past Research Efforts

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The world population is projected to be 9.1 billion by the year 2050, and about 70% extra food will be required. One of the main challenges regarding food security is postharvest loss due to insect pests. The overall postharvest grain losses for sub‐Saharan Africa could be as high as US$4 billion/year.

Insects and their Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota, Fungi) of Lake Eustis and Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area: A case study on urbanization and diversity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16618-16633, December 2021., 2021
Two lakes in central Florida were surveyed for insects and the associated fungal parasites, Laboulbeniales. One of the lakes had been the site of intensive restoration efforts while the other lake is highly developed and un‐restored. This study found stark differences in fungal diversity between the sites, and explores the possibility of the use of ...

Using elemental profiling to determine intrinsic markers to track the dispersal of Prostephanus truncatus, a pest of stored grain with alternative natural hosts [PDF]

, 2016
"Detecting sources of insects attacking grain stores can help to develop more effective pest management models. This study considers combinations of chemical elements as intrinsic markers for tracing resource-use by Prostephanus truncatus (Horn ...

Origin and evolution of fungus farming in wood‐boring Coleoptera – a palaeontological perspective

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2476-2488, December 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Insect–fungus mutualism is one of the better‐studied symbiotic interactions in nature. Ambrosia fungi are an ecological assemblage of unrelated fungi that are cultivated by ambrosia beetles in their galleries as obligate food for larvae. Despite recently increased research interest, it remains unclear which ecological factors facilitated the ...

Comparison of mandible morphology of two stored product bostrichid beetles, Rhyzopertha dominica and Prostephanus truncatus

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Insect mandibles are most frequently encountered fragments in processed foods. Thanks to their sclerotised and darkly pigmented nature, they usually remain intact in foods and are relatively easily detectable.
