Sequential analysis reveals use of mutual assessment in contests between wild New Zealand giraffe weevils

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 240-257, June 2024.
ABSTRACT When resources such as mates or mating sites are limited, selection drives the evolution of complex and frequently violent fighting behaviour. Contest outcome is determined by an individual’s resource holding potential (RHP) in comparison to that of their opponent. During contests individuals may assess only their own RHP, or they may mutually

The evolution of positive allometry and exaggerated traits in a diverse beetle clade

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 1265-1283, May 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding variation in trait allometry and the drivers of variation in sexually selected traits is a major theme in evolutionary biology. The static allometries of sexually selected traits are often positive due to disproportional investment by large individuals ...

Assessing the sterility and quality of gamma‐irradiated pepper weevils, Anthonomus eugenii (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), toward the development of the sterile insect technique

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 1692-1701, April 2024.
Pepper weevil were treated with gamma radiation at the pupal stage to investigate its impact on reproduction and quality. Male and female pepper weevils irradiated with 110 Gy as late‐stage pupae were effectively sterilized and also had decreased fecundity, longevity and spontaneous flight activity.

Segregation of hydroxycinnamic acid esters mediating sweetpotato weevil resistance in storage roots of sweetpotato [PDF]

, 2017
Resistance to sweetpotato weevils, (Cylas spp.) has been identified in several sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) landraces from East Africa and shown to be conferred by hydroxycinnamic acids that occur on the surface of storage roots.
