Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 533-546, June 2026.
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Entomopathogenic Potential of Cuticle‐Degrading Enzymes From Bacillus velezensis CE100 in the Biocontrol of Pine Aphid (Eulachnus thunbergii Wilson)

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pine aphids are notoriously destructive sap‐sucking pests of pine trees worldwide. We investigated the biocontrol efficacy of Bacillus velezensis CE100 through cuticle‐degrading enzymes, which degrade the cuticular structure of insect pests.

Identification of gall midge resistant parental lines and validation of fertility restoration linked markers for hybrid rice technology [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2014
The success of hybrid rice technology depends on the extent of heterosis realized, pest resistance and the grain quality of rice. To identify gall midge resistant, non aromatic maintainers and restorers, 114 germplasm lines were crossed with six CMS ...

Hymenopteran parasitoids reared from European gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
We report the results of investigations 2010 through 2023 of hymenopteran parasitoids associated with gall midges in Europe. A total of 242 collections of gall midges were made, from each of which one to several parasitoid species emerged, resulting in ...

An endoparasitoid avoids hyperparasitism by manipulating immobile host herbivore to modify host plant morphology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many parasitic organisms have an ability to manipulate their hosts to increase their own fitness. In parasitoids, behavioral changes of mobile hosts to avoid or protect against predation and hyperparasitism have been intensively studied, but host ...

Solving the trophic puzzle: Host–parasite associations in Neotropical fig wasps associated with fig trees of section Americanae

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 284-294, April 2026.
We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...

Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1950-1965, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular
