Phytoplasma infection renders cranberries more susceptible to above‐ and belowground insect herbivores

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 957-972, June 2025.
Schematic illustration summarizing the effects of phytoplasma infection on the performance and feeding behavior of above‐ and belowground insect herbivores as well as its effects on shoot and root traits in cranberries. The “+” symbol indicates a positive effect, while the “–” symbol indicates a negative effect. Abstract While phytoplasma infections in

An integrative strategy used by the aphid Uroleucon formosanum to counter host sesquiterpene lactone defense: Insights from combined genomic and transcriptomic analysis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Diet acts on sexual behavior development in a male moth

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Drastic changes are observed during sexual maturation characterized by the reproductive system development concomitantly to the sexual behavior ontogenesis. These modifications are under the control of internal and external factors such as food. Knowing that sexual maturation requires considerable energetic investment, diet has been shown to affect ...

Foraging by predatory ants: A review

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on
