Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Size‐selective mortality evolutionarily alters collective behaviour in response to predation risk in a zebrafish (Danio rerio) harvest‐induced selection model

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intensive multigenerational size‐selective mortality has been found to alter collective properties like shoaling via evolutionary adaptations of individual‐level behavioural traits. For example, experimental populations of zebrafish (Danio rerio) experiencing intensive large size‐selective mortality over multiple generations developed less ...
