Temperature‐dependent, epigenetic impacts on life history components, after treatment with putatively epimutating drugs (3‐aminobenzamide [3AB] hypermethylating, and Zeb hypomethylating). Upward arrows depict increased fitness of treated females, whereas downward arrows depict fitness costs of treatment, relative to fitness of water‐treated controls ...

Monitoring invertebrates in cereal fields in southern England over 50 years (1970–2019) showed an overall decline in abundance. For taxa at the order/family level, 47% declined in abundance, 16% increased and 37% showed no change. Most functional groups declined, expect for pollinators—whose abundance did not change overall.

The larvae of the swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii (Kieffer) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), feed on the meristem of brassica crops, resulting in galls that disrupt seed and vegetable production. The salivary gland and midgut transcriptomes of third instar larvae were examined, providing evidence for cooperative extra‐oral and gastrointestinal digestion ...

The gene Rpfmd, which determines female sex in Riptortus pedestris, was first identified. This gene is essential for the development of female‐specific characteristics during the embryonic, nymphal, and adult stages, but it has no effect on males. The Rpfmd gene is an ideal candidate for homing‐based gene driver genetic control.

Biology and population dynamics of the potential sugarcane Fiji disease vector Perkinsiella saccharicida (Homoptera: Delphacidae) in Réunion: evidence of its loss of biotic potential [PDF]
There is a risk that irrigation schemes that have been developed to enhance sugarcane, Saccharum spp, cropping on the island of Réunion could markedly broaden the distribution range in which outbreaks of the insect Persinkiella saccharicida Kirkaldy ...

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of temporal variation in dispersal
The importance of dispersal rates and distances has long been appreciated by ecologists and evolutionary biologists. An emerging field of research is revealing how temporal variation in dispersal can substantially influence ecological and evolutionary outcomes.
