A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Gall wasp biocontrol of invasive Acacia longifolia:implications of strong bottom-up effects [PDF]

, 2017
The population dynamics of insect herbivore biocontrol agents is central to the successful control of invasive weeds. Although the importance of agent population dynamics is recognized, it is rarely considered in assessments of the biocontrol potential ...

INVASIVENESS OF AN EXOTIC GALL WASP IS INFLUENCED BY INTERACTIONS WITH EXOTIC AND ENDEMIC ORGANISMS [PDF]

, 2015
American chestnut was once a crucial component of North American forests, but it was functionally eliminated by the introduction of the chestnut blight fungus.

From hindrance to indirect protection: Ant‐mediated enemy‐free space for gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) on Macaranga myrmecophytes (Euphorbiaceae)

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

How Accurately Do Species Distribution Models Predict the Expansion of Invasive Insects, and Does Climate Data Choice Matter? Insights From the Invasion of Dryocosmus kuriphilus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1035-1046, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Diversity of flies visiting and pollinating flowers of the Southern African genus Riocreuxia (Apocynaceae: Ceropegieae, Anisotominae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) contains ca. 720 species and, with fly pollination being ubiquitous in the group, appears to have diversified without shifts between major groups of pollinators. In contrast, the sister subtribe Anisotominae, which only has ca.

High‐Throughput DNA Barcoding Reveals Multi‐Trophic Networks of Plants, Leafminers and Parasitoids in a Tropical Dry Forest

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical dry forests host highly diverse insect communities and complex trophic interactions, yet these networks remain difficult to resolve using conventional molecular or rearing‐based approaches. Here, we integrate long‐read DNA barcoding, non‐target sequence co‐amplification, and host plant taxonomy to reconstruct tri‐trophic interactions ...

Galls as a Disputed Resource for Female Parasitoid Wasps Contests

Advances in Entomology, 2015
We investigated how the parasitoid Torymus sp. (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) attacking galls of Schismatodiplosis lantanae (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) on Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) behaves in the presence of a conspecific female competitor in the patch. Presence of a competitor greatly changed resident exploitation behavior.
