Multi‐year occupancy and habitat use in a threatened butterfly reintroduced onto a restored peatland

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Photoperiodic diapause in a subtropical population of Aedes albopictus in Guangzhou, China: optimized field-laboratory-based study and statistical models for comprehensive characterization

open access: yesInfectious Diseases of Poverty, 2018
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

Predator egg‐induced non‐consumptive effects suppress spider mite survival and reproductive performance

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9343-9351, September 2026.
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 ...

Trade‐offs in thermal response: Schizotetranychus brevisetosus winter eggs outperform summer eggs at low temperatures

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 435-445, September 2026.
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 ...

Phenological responses of Pseudomallada (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae): Comparative data from three Nearctic species and interspecific hybrids

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
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

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1937-1969, August 2026.
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.

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
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

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
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

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2002
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 ...

Mitogenomics of Culex pipiens Form Pipiens From the Turkish Black Sea Region Reveals Structural Conservation and Phylogenetic Complexity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
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 ...
