Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

Current evidence of climate-driven colour change in insects and its impact on sexual signals. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur review will provide current information about how climatic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity impact on insect's colour and sexual signals. In addition, we discussed about the counter mechanisms that insects usually take place to adapt with the changing climate.

Impact of Pesticides on Diversity and Abundance of Predatory Arthropods in Rice Ecosystem
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal crops with a diverse set of pests and natural enemies. Rice fields often support a high diversity of arthropods which contribute significantly to productivity. This diversity is frequently threatened due to indiscriminate applications of pesticides.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 9, Page 1163-1181, September 2022., 2022 We aim to elucidate the complex movements of the mouthparts and their functioning of the blue emperor dragonfly (Anax imperator) by combining detailed information on (1) in vivo movement behavior, (2) movement ability provided by morphology, (3) 3D‐anatomy, and (4) cuticle composition Abstract Insects evolved differently specialized mouthparts.

Vantage: Journal of Thematic Analysis, 2021 For food security and sustainable crop protection, it is a necessity to optimize the massrearing and augmentation of biocontrol agents of numerous aphid pests. Coccinellids, commonly known as ladybird beetles, are potential predators on several sucking pests and promising biocontrol agents.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES, 2021 Aggregation of conspecific predators sharing a common prey, influences their bodyweights. We investigated the influence of intraspecific competition of adult ladybirds of Coccinella transversalis Fabricius on their bodyweight feeding on rusty plum aphid, Hysteroneura setariae (Thomas).

A comparison of alternative plant mixes for conservation bio-control by native beneficial arthropods in vegetable cropping systems in Queensland Australia. [PDF]
, 2010 Cucurbit crops host a range of serious sap-sucking insect pests, including silverleaf whitefly (SLW) and aphids, which potentially represent considerable risk to the Australian horticulture industry. These pests are extremely polyphagous with a wide host
