Antennal response of Prinobius myardi to synthetic tree volatiles

Silva Fennica, 2015
Prinobius myardi Mulsant is a wood borer implicated in the decline of Mediterranean oaks, especially Quercus suber L. and Quercus ilex L. Plant volatiles play an important role in plant-insect interactions, and electroantennography (EAG) is an effective ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Differential Dominance of Ecological Processes Shapes the Longhorn Beetle Community in Tropical Rainforests and Temperate Forests of Southwest China

Insects
(1) Background: Understanding the relationship between community assembly and species coexistence is key to understanding ecosystem diversity. Despite the importance of wood-boring longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in forests, factors affecting their ...

Loss of Y chromosome may be a synapomorphy of the tribe Lepturini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lepturinae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
Phylogeny and higher classification of the cerambycid subfamily Lepturinae remain controversial. Here we report the results of a cytogenetic study of 18 species currently classified in Lepturini and 12 species in other tribes of Lepturinae (1 in ...

Ecological Stoichiometric Relationships Among Wood‐Feeding Insects, Host Trees, and Soils in an Urban Tropical Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In wood‐feeding insects, the presence of elemental composition suggests a potential nutritional deficiency. In this regard, the research aimed to examine the ecological stoichiometric mismatches between wood‐feeding insects and their tree hosts, analysing the components and stoichiometric mismatches of the forest ecosystem, as well as the role of soil.

Harnessing the power of machine and deep learning for transferring joint species distribution models considering the structure of biotic interactions

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
The transferability of single or joint species distribution models ((j)SDMs) depends on their ability to predict beyond the observed environmental range and to remain consistent despite shifts in biotic interactions. Transfer accuracy may be improved by recent advances in the application of deep learning that provide greater flexibility and potentially

When is a tree suitable for a veteran tree specialist? Variability in the habitat requirements of the great capricorn beetle (Cerambyx cerdo) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2019
Large veteran trees are key structures sustaining biodiversity in wooded landscapes. Many organisms associated with such trees are, however, also able to inhabit suitable trees with smaller diameters or other surrogate habitats.

Moderately thinning encroaching shrub species is key to balancing rangeland restoration and arthropod biodiversity conservation in Namibia

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and

The effect of heat stress on the activity of A1 and A2 neurosecretory neurons of Morimus funereus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larvae

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
A study on the effect of heat stress on the activity of the medial A1 and A2 neurosecretory neurons (NSN), and the activity of midgut a-amylase and protease was performed on the fifth larval instar of Morimus funereus.
