Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 363-376, June 2026.
Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate‐chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and light effects on development. Repeated measurements of larval body size, biomass and pupation timing to quantify how growth rates and developmental duration ...

Lipid Metabolism in Diapause

Organisms living in temperate and polar environments encounter seasonal fluctuations that entail changes in temperature, resource availability, and biotic interactions. Thus, adaptations for synchronizing the life cycle with essential resources and persisting through unfavorable conditions are critical.

Climate Change Shapes Suitable Habitat and Ecological Niche Overlap Between Hyphantria cunea and Its Parasitoid Chouioia cunea in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
*Hyphantria cunea* is a highly invasive forest pest in China, and its parasitoid *Chouioia cunea* is widely used for biological control, though climate change may alter their spatial matching. Using ensemble species distribution models under multiple SSP scenarios, we found that suitable habitats for both species are projected to expand, with ...

Sélection de lignées à taux et durées de diapause différents chez Heliothis armigera Huebner (Lép. Noctuidae), souche d'origine tropicale, élevée à 25°C et 12 heures d'éclairement [PDF]

, 1986
Une souche d'Heliothis armigera originaire de Côte d'Ivoire a été sélectionnée en deux lignées : l'une à faible taux de diapause, l'autre à fort taux de diapause.

Differential Phoretic Vector Use Among Sympatric Caenorhabditis Nematodes and an Association With Invasive Nitidulid Beetles in Southwestern Germany

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We show evidence for differential host use among the three sympatric Caenorhabditis, and a novel association with nitidulid beetles for C. apta sp. n. This information adds to our understanding of host invertebrate use across the Caenorhabditis phylogeny, highlighting potential evolutionary transitions in host use in need of further study.

Migration rate, timing of sex, and resident genetic diversity jointly shape effective gene flow during rotifer colonization

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dispersal is a complex process that affects all living organisms, with the settlement phase being particularly critical. This phase depends on the interaction between the environmental conditions of the new habitat and the biological traits of both resident and immigrant populations.

From flower buds to bolls: how cotton reproductive structures shape boll weevil development, reproduction and survival

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4576-4584, May 2026.
Female boll weevils feeding on flower buds promote reproduction regardless of their immature diet, whereas boll feeding increases lipid reserves and lifespan, revealing a nutrition‐driven trade‐off that sustains survival and reproduction in tropical boll weevil populations.

Climatic origin and plasticity shape emergence timing and fitness in bees and wasps under experimental climate regimes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1461-1474, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming threatens the persistence of insect populations by forcing them to adjust their phenology—responses that may be constrained by local adaptation and involve physiological trade‐offs.

Taxonomic revision and conservation concerns of the trapezitine genus Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) from Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Trapezitinae) is a small genus of skippers endemic to Australia, with most species restricted to semi‐arid and arid biomes where the larvae specialise on grasses (Poaceae) in the genera Neurachne R.Br., Enteropogon Nees and Austrostipa S.W.L. Jacobs & J.Everett.
