Biology of the Gall Midge Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of the Invasive Grass Cortaderia selloana

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

Plant Growth and Arthropod Assemblage Metrics on Sapindus saponaria Fertilized With Dehydrated Municipal Sewage Sludge

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Under the conditions evaluated, dehydrated municipal sewage sludge increased branches per plant and ground cover in Sapindus saponaria and increased cumulative arthropod observations and species richness in selected groups. Exploratory multivariate patterns did not demonstrate direct causal plant–arthropod relationships.

Life Table and Reproductive Traits of Eumerus obliquus (Diptera: Syrphidae) Reared in Captivity

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Age‐stage specific survival rate (above) and daily averages of oviposition and hatching (below) of Eumerus obliquus under captive conditions. The curve illustrates the probability that a newly laid egg will survive to a specific age and stage. The results revealed a positive population growth trend, the larval stage being the most critical phase in the

Behavioral Responses of Doryctobracon areolatus and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to Host Fruits Exploited by Heterospecific Competitors

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Female parasitoids can lower competitive costs by detecting rival‐species cues on shared host fruits (host habitats). We compared native Doryctobracon areolatus and introduced Diachasmimorpha longicaudata on guava fruits infested with Anastrepha fraterculus.

Does the munch affect the bunch? Using community science to explore insect herbivory and fruit production in an understory plant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We used iNaturalist records, a longitudinal field survey, and a simulated herbivory experiment to explore how insect herbivory factors are associated with Cornus canadensis fruit production. Naturally observed internal and external insect herbivory was mostly low intensity and did not have a strong relationship with fruit production.

Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

Maternal factors from a parasitoid wasp mediate hyperparasitoid attraction to parasitized caterpillars

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The parasitoid‐associated polydnavirus CgPDV, but not venom alone, significantly increases the attractiveness of Pieris brassicae caterpillars to the hyperparasitoid Baryscapus galactopus at close range. Naturally parasitized caterpillars elicit stronger hyperparasitoid attraction than any injection treatment, indicating that additional factors beyond ...

Flies – Order Diptera

, 2015
Diptera, the true flies, are among the most diverse and ecologically important insects. Adults are easily recognised by their single pair of wings (the forewings) and club-shaped halteres (derived from the hindwings). Two major subgroups occur: the lower
