Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

First report of Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background The polyphagous alien invasive pest, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), invaded Africa and has so far spread across the continent, causing devastating impacts on maize production.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and
