Does a shift to a novel host plant create a defence‐free space for a specialist herbivore species?
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2085-2095, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While host switches can promote speciation in herbivorous insects, the benefits of switching hosts have only been ascribed to escaping competition and natural enemies. Herbivores might also escape from the defences of their ancestral host if their new host species lacks

Nomenclatural notes on Chalepini and Sceloenopliini (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) [PDF]
, 2010 The authorship and type species of the genera Acentroptera and Metazycera are reviewed. The correct author of Acentroptera is Guérin-Méneville, 1844; Acentroptera dejeani Guérin-Méneville, 1844, is here designated as the type species.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 595-608, August 2025.The two most diverse beetle families, Staphylinidae and Curculionidae (black arrows), have fewer studies of diversity and elevation than expected, while the Carabidae and Scarabaeidae (brown arrows) are overstudied. Dung beetle (Scarabaeidae) phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity decreases with elevation along tropical and temperate elevational ...

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 505-517, August 2025.A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 581-592, August 2025.Colorado potato beetle's RNA interference (RNAi) response was enhanced when insecticidal dsactin was consumed at high temperatures. The enhanced RNAi outcomes at high temperatures were not a function of dose or the expression of core RNAi genes. The potato cultivar consumed by Colorado potato beetle larvae did not affect RNAi outcomes, but larvae did ...

Host plant location by Chrysomelidae
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2007 Summary Chrysomelidae are a taxon with an enormous plethora of highly specialised herbivorous species. The present study provides an overview of the knowledge available so far on cues guiding chrysomelids to locate a host plant. Host location behaviour will be addressed from different trophic perspectives.

Revision of the species of Chaetocnema from Madagascar (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 The species of flea beetles of the genus Chaetocnema Stephens, 1831 occurring in Madagascar are revised. Four new species (C. cachani, C. hygrophila, C. malgascia and C. orophila) are described and five species (C. bamakoensis Bechyné C. confinis Crotch,
