Multi‐year occupancy and habitat use in a threatened butterfly reintroduced onto a restored peatland
Abstract Introduction Over half of insect species reintroductions are unsuccessful, frequently because of insufficient habitat resources and a knowledge‐gap regarding the target species habitat requirements. Multi‐season occupancy models, seldom used with invertebrates, offer the opportunity to disentangle the effects of habitat suitability and ...

Background Aedes albopictus is among the 100 most invasive species worldwide and poses a major risk to public health. Photoperiodic diapause provides a crucial ecological basis for the adaptation of this species to adverse environments. Ae. albopictus is

Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...

We investigated maternal effects in Schizotetranychus brevisetosus (Tetranychidae), where females oviposit summer and winter eggs in response to photoperiod on evergreen hosts. Developmental rates of immature individuals increased linearly from 15°C to 35°C, but winter and summer eggs developed faster at low and high temperatures, respectively ...

Three Nearctic species - Pseudomallada macleodi (Adams & Garland), P. perfectus (Banks), and P. sierra (Banks) - share a suite of phenological characteristics with their Western Palearctic congeners. They overwinter as free-living larvae (primarily third

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus
The veiled chameleon is a model organism in reptile development research. Utilizing contrast‐enhanced microCT and deep learning segmentation models, we have generated the first digital atlases of the skull, nervous system, cranial muscles and hyolingual muscles.

ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Ecophysiological consequences of variability in diapause intensity
Diapause intensity (DI) is a physiological trait represented by the duration of diapause under given conditions of environment. In many species, it is highly variable, probably being controlled by multiple genes and tends to form a cline in response to ...

Complete mitochondrial genomes of five Turkish Culex pipiens form pipiens isolates from the Black Sea region revealed highly conserved mitogenome architecture. Expanded comparisons across the broader Cx. pipiens complex showed that mitochondrial diversity was concentrated in selected loci and terminal regions associated with the A + T‐rich control ...
