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

Entomologia 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.

The Plant‐Associated Fungus Chaetomium globosum Can Directly Infect and Kill Aphids

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Plant‐associated Chaetomium globosum strains caused direct infection and mortality in cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii) under different concentration‐dependent pathogenicity bioassays. Reinfection, aphid mortality, fungal re‐isolation, and molecular identification confirmed fulfillment of Koch's postulates for insect pathogenicity. These findings revealed

Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.

Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil components promote anaesthesia in Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818) through behavioural and cardiorespiratory modulation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaesthetic management plays a crucial role in maintaining the welfare and physiological stability of fish during routine aquaculture and research procedures. The essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis (ROEO) has emerged as a promising natural anaesthetic; however, its cardiophysiological effects in Amazonian species remain underexplored ...
