Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Thermal acclimation and environment drive field dispersal patterns of adult Mediterranean fruit flies

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ambient temperature significantly increased Mediterranean fruit fly recapture rates, demonstrating a strong effect of immediate environmental conditions on field dispersal. Female recaptures were 2.6‐fold higher in orchards containing host plants, whereas male recaptures were unaffected by host presence.

Predator cues from jumping spiders modulate herbivore behaviour and reduce plant damage

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Jumping spider cues increase immobility and delay first reproduction in the aphid Myzus persicae. Spider cues reduce leaf consumption by chewing herbivores, indicating reduced herbivore pressure on plants. Jumping spider cues may mediate indirect effects across trophic levels by altering herbivore behaviour and plant–herbivore interactions.

Selective feeding and niche differentiation in adult boreal Odonata revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
COI metabarcoding of faecal pellets from three sympatric Odonata species in boreal Swedish wetlands revealed Diptera‐dominated diets, with mosquitoes only a minor component despite high availability. The larger hawker Libellula quadrimaculata showed greater dietary variance than the smaller damselflies, indicating size‐ and foraging strategy‐dependent ...

Environmental Morphological Divergence and Its Integration With Collective Behavior in Cooperative Pseudoscorpions

Ethology, EarlyView.
In the social pseudoscorpion Paratemnoides nidificator, populations across contrasting urban and peri‐urban environments exhibit marked morphological divergence and consistent sexual dimorphism. Crucially, relative development of the prey‐capture pedipalp apparatus (rather than absolute body size) is positively integrated with proactive collective ...
