Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 5003-5014, December 2023., 2023 The baseline toxicity of nine insecticides on Drosophila suzukii was studied. Larvae fed on LC10 were used to rear the parasitoid, Trichopria drosophilae, for which key biological traits were altered. Abstract Background Although the pupal parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae is used in conservative and augmentative biocontrol of Drosophila suzukii ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 1762-1778, December 2023., 2023 Flowers of the Tasmanian endemic shrub Richea dracophylla are covered with a calyptra which is removed by birds before insect pollination can occur. Nocturnal ants Notoncus hickmani were active on flowers in large numbers at temperatures down to 2.5°C. Abstract Our observation of large numbers of ants Notoncus hickmani (Formicinae) on the flowers of a ...

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 10, Page 1067-1073, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Two years after the first European record in Italy, we report the first occurrence of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina japonica Novković & Kimura, 2011 (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) in Germany. The species is a larval‐pupal parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), which is a widespread invasive and economically ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 10, Page 1035-1044, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The worldwide decline of insects is one of the major challenges for humankind. One of its main drivers is intensive farming, which reduces habitats and food resources for insect populations and causes direct mortality by pesticides. In addition, mowing of grassland poses another threat to insects, especially when it is done frequently, such as

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1234-1251, November 2023., 2023 The nestling diet of Svalbard snow buntings was identified by DNA‐metabarcoding. Simultaneously we collected prey availability data. Phenological changes of the diet species over the season coincided with similar changes in the diet. Abstract Tundra arthropods are of considerable ecological importance as a seasonal food source for many arctic‐breeding ...

, 2020 Family Diapriidae (Hymenoptera, Diaprioidea) This family comprises about 2,300 species in 197 genera (Johnson 1992; Arias 2003). Most of them are pupal parasitoids on dipterans and are frequently associated with fungi (Masner 2006). Diapriidae is subdivided into four subfamilies. The two species (Co. haywardi and Tr. anastrephae) that are parasitoids
