Life‐History Traits and Overwintering of Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae), a Larval Parasitoid of Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is a larval tachinid parasitoid that plays a key role in regulating low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. We describe its immature stages, life‐history traits, host‐searching behavior, development, and confirm its larviparous reproductive strategy.

Influence of fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda egg mass scales and layers on the performance of three species of egg parasitoid Trichogramma with different ovipositor lengths

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a highly polyphagous and destructive pest of maize and other cereal crops.

Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

Mathematical modelling of insect oviposition behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This thesis is concerned with various aspects of insect oviposition behaviour. In the first chapter published mathematical models developed to understand optimal insect oviposition behaviour are reviewed.

Dr. Smith's Hotel, Egg Harbor City, NJ

open access: yes, 1900
This photograph of Dr. Smith's hotel in Egg Harbor City was most likely taken prior to the construction of the south side addition. The hotel is a large building with gabled windows, generous porches, and a very marshy lawn; the man posed with the ...

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

An AI‐Driven Biomass Estimation Tool Enabling Population‐ and Specimen‐Level Variation Analyses: A Case Study on Parasitoid Flies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present the first ecological application of InsectMorphoAI, a tool estimating curvilinear body length and body volume from two‐dimensional fly images. Applying this approach to tachinid flies from a Mediterranean forest near Rome, Italy, we quantified species composition, abundance, body size, body proportions, and biomass proxies in assemblages ...
