Oviposition and eclosion periods of Ixodes didelphidis Fonseca and Aragão, 1951 (Acari: Ixodidae) under laboratory conditions

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Oviposition and eclosion periods for Ixodes didelphidis were observed under two temperatures (25ºC and 27ºC) and 90-95% humidity.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 62, 9 November 2026.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Experience Improves Spatial Foraging Performance in a Complex Environment in Heliconius Butterflies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We experimentally tested whether prior experience in a spatially complex environment influences foraging performance in the pollen‐feeding butterfly Heliconius erato. Butterflies reared in a structurally complex environment efficiently reached a feeder under both familiar and unfamiliar conditions, whereas those reared in a simple environment performed

Queen weight change, adult eclosion masses, and timing of adult eclosion for Round 2 cage-trials.

open access: yes, 2023
Boxes represent the interquartile range, bars indicate the median, and whiskers span 1.5 times the interquartile range. NS = not significant. a) Adult queen weight change during the experiment. Each dot represents one queen.

Copy Number Variation‐Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We developed and validated a copy number variation (CNV)‐based molecular method to accurately determine the sex of immature ticks, Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus, which lack morphological sexual dimorphism. Using qPCR and ddPCR assays targeting female‐enriched genes, sex was reliably identified from DNA extracted non‐destructively from a

Envenomation Leads to Venom Protein Reduction and a Recovery Period in Bumblebee Workers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
The evolution and deployment of venom systems in social bees have been central to their ecological success, though not without costs. However, for species such as bumblebees, where stinging is not apparently fatal, it raises the question of what, if any, are the consequences associated with venom usage (envenomation).

Comparative Analysis of Diel and Circadian Eclosion Rhythms and Clock Gene Expression Between Sexes in the Migratory Moth Spodoptera frugiperda

open access: yesInsects
The circadian clock orchestrates behavioral and molecular processes such as eclosion. Understanding eclosion timing may offer insights into circadian mechanisms underlying migratory timing.

Context‐dependent joint buffering of abiotic stress by parental care and sibling interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 11, Page 3422-3434, November 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change represents one of the most complex challenges of the 21st century, increasing global temperatures and the occurrence of extreme events, such as heatwaves, cold snaps, floods or droughts.

RÉTENTION DES OVULES APRÈS OVULATION DANS LA CAVITÉ OVARIENNE DE LA CARPE HERBIVORE : COMPOSITION DES OVULES ET CAPACITÉ DE DÉVELOPPEMENT DES ŒUFS ET DES ALEVINS.

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2002
Pour étudier l’effet de rétention prolongée des ovules dans la cavité ovarienne (in vivo) de la carpe herbivore, des extractions d’ovules de 15 femelles (3 à 5,6 kg) ont eu lieu à différents intervalles de temps après ovulation (0, 30, 60, 90 et 120 min).
