Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

Functional composition and dominance drive seed removal in ant assemblages of Atlantic Forest fragments

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Landscape structure did not affect overall ant species richness, but forest cover influenced the abundance of some functional components of ant assemblages across Atlantic Forest fragments. Seed removal declined with increasing seed size and was positively associated with community dominance but negatively associated with community‐weighted mean ...

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Host plants and distribution records of lance flies (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) in São Paulo State, Brazil

EntomoBrasilis, 2021
The knowledge of host plants, distribution and economic importance of Lonchaeidae is scarce in Latin America. We have recovered specimens of Lonchaeidae from most fruit samples containing specimens of Tephritidae.

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Toxicity of Corymbia citriodora essential oil compounds against Ascia monuste (Linnaeus, 1764) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) and Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Entomological Communications, 2020
Essential oils (EO’s) have been investigated as a safe alternative to pest management. The toxicity of an EO can vary due to abiotic and biotic factors. The individual compounds of different EO’s have shown promise to insect control and they may present ...

Solenopsis saevissima (Smith) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Activity Delays Vertebrate Carcass Decomposition

Sociobiology, 2017
Ants are among the insects involved in cadaveric decomposition processes, as they exhibit predatory and necrophagous behavior. Red ants exhibit an aggressive behavior, which impacts carcass colonization, accelerates or delays the decomposition rates and ...
