A case of polyploid utility in biocontrol: reproductively‐impaired triploid Nasonia vitripennis have high host‐killing ability

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 1469-1477, March 2025.
Parasitization ability on blowfly pupae of polyploid (triploid) females of the model parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis was compared against diploid controls. Despite highly impaired reproduction, the infertile polyploids had parasitization ability equal to control diploids, demonstrating high utility of polyploid parasitoids for biocontrol, with less ...

Benefits of Essential Oil-Enriched Chitosan on Beef: From Appearance and Odour Improvement to Protection Against Blowfly Oviposition

Foods
The food industry is increasingly turning to healthy and eco-friendly alternatives for meat preservation, with recent attention focused on chitosan (CH) and essential oils (EOs). Here, we propose two liquid formulations of CH enriched with Laurus nobilis

Impact of bifenthrin and clothianidin on blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) oviposition patterns under laboratory and field conditions

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 627-638, March 2025.
Abstract Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) can detect decomposing remains and begin colonizing the resource through oviposition soon after. The estimated time between colonization and insect evidence collection is referred to as the time of colonization (TOC). Forensic entomologists use the TOC to help estimate the minimum postmortem interval (mPMI),

Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post‐feeding larval dispersal

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 14-21, March 2025.
A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
This study investigates the evolutionary path to parasitism in blowflies, modeling traits such as trophic specialization, larval food substrate, and developmental temperature. Our results support that blowfly parasitism evolved from saprophagy or facultative parasitism, emphasizing the crucial role of facultative parasitism as a transitional stage ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Silene uniflora‡

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 9, Page 2135-2157, September 2024.
Sea Campion (Silene uniflora) flowers throughout the summer on cliffs, dunes and shingle, mainly around the Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe. Plants may have hermaphrodite flowers, female‐only flowers or both. Long‐tongued Hymenoptera and night‐flying moths are important pollinators, and they commonly also transmit a castrating fungal disease ...

Resilin in Insect Flight Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 35, August 28, 2024.
The development of resilin‐based biomaterials for medical and industrial applications has been constantly advanced in recent years. Resilin is a rubber‐like protein that occurs in arthropod exoskeleton structures. In the insect flight system, its function depends on its overall location, protein sequence and mixture with stiffer exoskeleton components.

Effects of climate on the phenology of Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) and the distribution of associated insects in Burkina Faso

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Climatic factors have an impact on the phenology of Annona senegalensis by shortening or lengthening the phenological phases in Burkina Faso. This affects the diversity and abundance of insects associated with this plant in cliamatic zones. Abstract Climate change and global warming in the Sahelian region cause dramatic drought and advancing of the ...
