The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7815-7826, December 2025.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Cantharidin world on bird droppings: Reused cantharidin after bird predation of cantharidin‐producing insects

Entomological Science, Volume 28, Issue 4, December 2025.
Cantharidin is produced only by beetles of Meloidae and Oedemeridae families and is a rare resource for canthariphilous insects that ingest fluids and/or portions of living and even dead meloid and oedemerid beetles. This study reports that the canthariphilous insects also use cantharidin that remains in bird droppings produced after eating meloid or ...

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.
