ABSTRACT The Japanese beetle (JB) Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has been a significant invasive pest for over a century in North America. Several studies have reported that plants under direct sunlight are preferred and trap colour affects the number of beetles captured, indicating that visual stimuli influence JB behaviour. Despite this,

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Behavioural and physiological adaptations of a jumping spider to a marine environment
We investigated aspects of Maratus marinus (Salticidae) behaviour and physiology that allow it to exploit the intertidal zone of its habitat and survive periods of submergence. In a simulated rising tide, spiders within densely constructed nests remained, continuing to respire while submerged. Spiders in flimsily built nests fled the oncoming tide, and
