Dominated Spider Species and the Predation Assessment on Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae) in a Tea Plantation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.

Paving the Way for Rearing Closterocerus coffeellae: Effect of Adult Food Source and Oviposition Behavior in Leucoptera coffeella

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1226-1235, November 2025.
This study evaluated food sources for adult Closterocerus coffeellae survival and oviposition behavior. Adults were fed honey (10%), Hibiscus nectar, an artificial diet, or received no food. Male survival was higher on the artificial diet, whereas honey (10%) increased female survival.

Wolbachia Host Shifts and Widespread Occurrence of Reproductive Manipulation Loci in European Butterflies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Wolbachia is the most frequent bacterial endosymbiont of arthropods and nematodes. Although it is mostly vertically transmitted, from parent to offspring through the egg cytoplasm, horizontal transfer of Wolbachia is thought to be common over evolutionary timescales.
