A taste for dung: food preferences of dung beetles uncovered

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles have a generalist diet although they can develop preferences for specific excrements, such as elephant dung. Buffalo and wild boar dungs were broadly accepted among dung beetle species. In contrast, goat excrement was the least preferred. Abstract Insects represent the most megadiverse animal group, having evolved a wide range of feeding ...

Resources Modulate Developmental Shifts but Not Infection Tolerance Upon Co‐Infection in an Insect System

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energetic resources within organisms fuel both parasite growth and immune responses against them, but it is unclear whether energy allocation is sufficient to explain changes in infection outcomes under the threat of multiple parasites. We manipulated diet in flour beetles (Tribolium confusum) infected with two natural parasites and used a ...

Biogeography and Social Family Structure Contribute to Cryptic Genomic Divergence in the Only Obligate Eusocial Beetle Species, Austroplatypus incompertus (Curculionidae: Platypodinae)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eusociality in insects has arisen multiple times independently in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants), Blattodea (termites) and Coleoptera (beetles). In Hymenoptera and Blattodea, the evolution of eusociality led to species proliferation. In the hyperdiverse Coleoptera, obligate eusociality evolved only once, in the ancient Australian ambrosia ...

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
