Clockwork intruders: Do parasites manipulate their hostsʼ circadian rhythms? [PDF]
Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne DiseasesMost organisms have developed circadian clocks to adapt to 24-hour cycles in the environment. These clocks have become crucial for modulating and synchronizing complex behavioral and biological processes.

A fungal parasite selects against body size but not fluctuating asymmetry in Swiss subalpine yellow dung flies [PDF]
Alpine Entomology, 2021 Evidence for selective disadvantages of large body size remains scarce in general. Previous studies of the yellow dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria have demonstrated strong positive sexual and fecundity selection on male and female size. Nevertheless, the

The epizootic case caused by Entomophthora muscae (Cohn) Fresen in the Czech Republic
Sustainable Forestry: Collection, 2022 In this article we present the epizootic case of dipteran insects in a park in the Czech Republic caused by a fungus of the order Entomophthorales. Through field and laboratory investigations we confirmed the presence of the entomopathogenic fungus ...

Microbial Community Dynamics in Natural Drosophila melanogaster Populations Across Seasons. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolThe characterisation of fungal and bacterial communities associated with three field populations of Drosophila melanogaster in Germany revealed consistent but also population‐specific changes across seasons. The seasonal microbiota variation was mostly driven by indicator species of Acetobacteraceae bacteria and Saccharomycetales yeasts.

High mortality of beetle migrants along the Eastern Mediterranean Flyway
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 896-901, November 2023., 2023 In spring, 2019 millions of insects migrated from the Middle East to Cyprus, across more than 100 km of ocean. Coleopteran migrants were recorded, but the vast majority were found stranded on the beach, suggesting that Coleopterans are weaker migrants than other members of the migratory insect assemblage. This migratory mortality is likely an important

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 66-76, February 2023., 2023 SWD showed greater abundance in non‐cropped habitats than cropped areas. This difference was greatest in woodland and field margins that produce host food for SWD. This difference was not affected by neighbouring crop type but was affected by conventional management of the crop and was greatest in the winter period.
