A conceptual model for the diapause intensity curve and termination in overwintering Japanese pine sawyer larvae, Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

Characterization of luciferase from an Indian firefly Abscondita sp. (Coleoptera: Lampiridae)

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
(Left panel) Abscondita sp. (Lampyridae) collected in Guwahati, India. Scale bar = 5 mm. ( Right panel) Spectrum analysis of recombinant luciferase derived from this species at different pH. Unlike the other Lampyridae luciferases, this one showed pH insensitivity.

Plant accession and insect infestation, rather than silicon supplementation, shape defence strategies of Arabidopsis halleri towards a leaf beetle

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Trait‐based recovery of insect functional diversity following pine removal in a shrubland biodiversity hotspot

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction A primary goal of habitat restoration is the return of both taxonomic and functional diversity to support ecosystem resilience and functioning. This study assessed how insect functional biodiversity (focusing on beetles [Coleoptera] and ants [Formicidae]) responds to invasive pine (Pinus spp.) removal, in a Mediterranean‐type ...
