Parasitoid wasps can manipulate host behavior to enhance their own survival. Here we find that a parasitoid of aphids, Aphelinus chaonia, induces aphids to move to the leaf axil or leave the plant prior to pupation. This seems to have no effect on hyperparasitism, but mummy location may nevertheless impact parasitoid survival.

Abstract Background We isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Japanese traditional fermented foods and vegetables, and screened for exopolysaccharide (EPS)‐producing strains. The Leuconostoc citreum KD3 was isolated as a strain that produces an α‐glucan (KD3‐dextran) with α‐(1 → 6)‐linked main chain with a considerable amount of α‐(1 → 2) branches ...

Plant diversification impact on the oviposition response of a predatory bug in a laboratory set‐up
Orius majusculus laid nearly twice as many eggs in cages with two different crop species compared with a single species. Depending on crop species, O. majusculus utilised different plant structures for oviposition. Crop diversification supports reproduction, and thus, is likely to have a positive effect on O.

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.
