Deterring egg predators with faecal strings is more efficient when eggs are aggregated
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Egg aggregation and faecal strings interact to reduce predation risk. Faecal strings enhance egg survival, but only at higher egg densities. Multiple antipredator traits are needed for effective egg defence. Abstract Predation can be a great source of mortality for insect eggs. Thus, female insects use multiple strategies to reduce it.

‘Retournement’ of the aedeagus in Curculionidae (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) [PDF]
, 2013 Retournement or turning of the aedeagus about its longitudinal axis through about 180o during development is known in Chrysomeloidea (Coleoptera). This change in the orientation of the organ may be observed during the postembryonic development.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Our results show that ants reduced leaf herbivory on plants offering both EFN and trophobiotic insects. Although ants did not directly affect pollinator behaviour, leaf herbivory in plants hosting treehoppers indirectly influenced pollination by reducing both visit duration and frequency.

Storage and Behavior of Plant and Diet-Fed Adult Cereal Leaf Beetle, Oulema Melanopus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
, 2017 The univoltine life cycle of the cereal leaf beetle Oulema melanopus (L.) in Michigan (Castro et al. 1965) is similar to that reported by Venturi (1942) in Europe. Adults emerge from pupal cells in the soil in mid-June to early July, feed voraciously for

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.
