The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Microbiome, 2017 Background Obligate bacterial primary (P-) endosymbionts that are maternally inherited and codiverge with hosts are widespread across insect lineages with nutritionally restricted diets.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Endosymbion microbials low abundance of Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) from Indonesia rice production center based on metagenomic study using 16Sr RNA [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesInsects have a long history of association with endosymbiont microbes. There are several indications that endosymbiont microbes are associated with insects and participate in the degradation of organic and inorganic molecules.

Symbiotic Life of Echinoderm Larvae
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Echinoderm larvae have served as a fundamental system for understanding development and life history evolution over much of the last century. In the last few decades, our understanding of echinoderm larvae has expanded to the microbiota that they ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Different BYDV‐PAV isolates exert contrasting effects on aphid fitness, including reproduction and winged production. Different BYDV‐PAV isolates have contrasting effects on aphid dispersal patterns. Aphid feeding behaviour is modulated by the presence of endosymbionts and plant viruses.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis) populations had moderate levels of genetic diversity at microsatellites with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.43 to 0.58, and populations more than 10 km apart were differentiated from one another. Weak patterns of isolation by distance and low effective population sizes suggest that all but the largest ...

Experimental infection of plants with an herbivore-associated bacterial endosymbiont influences herbivore host selection behavior. [PDF]
, 2012 Although bacterial endosymbioses are common among phloeophagous herbivores, little is known regarding the effects of symbionts on herbivore host selection and population dynamics. We tested the hypothesis that plant selection and reproductive performance

Evolutionary ApplicationsThe introduction of non‐native species across the world represents a major global challenge. Retracing invasion origin is an important first step in understanding the invasion process, often requiring detailed sampling within the native range.
