Individual behaviour in firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 The concept of animal personalities has recently become of major interest as researchers began to wonder why animals within a given population show consistent behaviour across situations and contexts, what led to the evolution of such behavioural inflexibility and what mechanisms might underlie the phenomenon.

Mating activity of Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae) in nature
European Journal of Entomology, 2019 The mating behaviour of Pyrrhocoris apterus in the laboratory is well studied, but little is known about it under natural conditions. In natural populations in Central Europe, overwintered adults start copulating in March and continue until their death ...

Implementation of grid-connected wind energy during fault analysis using moth flame optimization with firebug swarm optimization [PDF]
, 2023 In modern trends, the voltage profile has become increasingly critical when incorporating wind turbine energy sources because of changes in fault ride-through capabilities throughout voltage reaction.

European Journal of Entomology, 2010 New aspects of the life-cycle of the flightless wing-polymorphic bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) are described. It was found that 1.1-14.9% of the adult females of P. apterus in 11 samples collected from 4 populations in the South Bohemia had mated prior to

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sequestration, that is, the accumulation of plant toxins into body tissues for defense, was predicted to incur physiological costs and may require resistance traits different from those of non‐sequestering insects.

European Journal of Entomology, 2011 The populations of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae) in Europe exhibit three kinds of host plant associations: feeding on seeds of (1) Tilia spp. (Tiliaceae), (2) Malvaceae (s. str.), and (3) Robinia pseudacacia (Fabaceae). The
