Photoperiodic diapause under the control of circadian clock genes in an insect [PDF]
, 2010 Background Most organisms have evolved a circadian clock in order to anticipate daily environmental changes and many of these organisms are also capable of sophisticated measurement of daylength (photoperiodism) that is used to regulate ...

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

A year-round study on digestive enzymes in the Arctic copepod Calanus glacialis: implications for its capability to adjust to changing environmental conditions [PDF]
, 2016 The biomass of zooplankton communities in Arctic shelf regions is dominated by the calanoid copepod Calanus glacialis . This species spends the winter in deep water, and then, metabolic rates are low.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Role of a gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA) receptor mutation in the evolution and spread of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera resistance to cyclodiene insecticides [PDF]
, 2013 The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is a damaging pest of cultivated corn that was controlled by applications of cyclodiene insecticides from the late 1940s until resistance evolved ∼10 years later. Range expansion from the western

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2000 Eggs of Riptortus clavatus parasitized by Ooencyrtus nezarae were placed in an outdoor cage in Osaka City from early September to late October at intervals of about 10 days. The female adults of O. nezarae emerging from these hosts were transferred to 25°C and 16L-8D at intervals of about 30 days and their oviposition was recorded.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the chemical and behavioural ecology of the Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is essential for developing effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in South American soybean production. This study investigated the courtship behaviour and diel periodicity of sex pheromone emission.
