Characterising Spectral Sensitivity and the Role of Sunlight Intensity in Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) Surveillance and Monitoring (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
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 ...

An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

Behavioural and physiological adaptations of a jumping spider to a marine environment

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
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
