, 2021 Drosophilidae This worldwide family of acalyptrate flies contains 4,139 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020) being most speciose in the Hawaiian Islands where more than 600 species are known (N. Evenhuis, per. comm. June 2020). Rondani (1856, 1875d) described two Palaearctic nominal species, Drosophila uvarum Rondani, 1875, considered as a junior synonym ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 475-488, June 2026.Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Aversion and attraction to harmful plant secondary compounds jointly shape the foraging ecology of a specialist herbivore. [PDF]
, 2016 Most herbivorous insect species are restricted to a narrow taxonomic range of host plant species. Herbivore species that feed on mustard plants and their relatives in the Brassicales have evolved highly efficient detoxification mechanisms that actually ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4595-4606, May 2026.Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...
