Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

Lack of evidence for western flower thrips biotypes base don intra and inter-strain variation in gut bacteria [PDF]
Western flower thrips is a polyphagous insect, which during the last 30 years has become a world wide pest. It was found earlier that these thrips are associated with a type of Erwinia species gut bacteria.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The study predicted the potential global distribution of invasive pest Echinothrips americanus using MaxEnt models, revealing its primary habitats concentrated in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa (total area ~ 3.41 × 107 km2). Under future climate scenarios, marginally suitable areas are projected to contract significantly, while ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4595-4606, May 2026.Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...
