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.

Comparison of the severity of selection among beech leaves prior to egg-laying between a leaf-mining and two gall-inducing insects

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
Quantitative behavioural traits associated with egg-laying, such as the level of selectivity for host-supports and the size of egg clutches, are generally thought to be of great importance for the subsequent survival and development of offspring.

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.

The success of the horse-chestnut leaf-miner, Cameraria ohridella, in the UK revealed with hypothesis-led citizen science [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Citizen science is an increasingly popular way of undertaking research and simultaneously engaging people with science. However, most emphasis of citizen science in environmental science is on long-term monitoring.

Metabarcoding Reveals the Dietary Patterns of Bats Within a Unique European Habitat, the Pasture‐Dominated Landscapes of Ireland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated the diets of two common insectivorous bat species, Plecotus auritus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus, across the pastureland‐dominated landscape of Ireland. Using metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing, we analysed 4627 faecal samples collected over three years from twelve maternity roosts during gestation, lactation, and post‐lactation ...

Role of spontaneous plants as a reservoir of alternative hosts for Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) and Citrostichus phyllocnistoides (Narayanan) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) in citrus groves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The role spontaneous plants could eventually play towards populations of two exotic parasitoids, Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) and Citrostichus phyllocnistoides (Narayanan), was investigated in five Sicilian citrus groves.

Development of Pheromone‐Based Mating Disruption for Three Lepidopteran Pests of Currant in Northern Europe

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1227-1236, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Currant, and in particular blackcurrant, Ribes nigrum, is widely grown in Europe. It is the host of a number of pest insects, but their occurrence and the damage they cause vary geographically. In northern Europe, three lepidopteran species, the currant shoot borer (Lampronia capitella), the currant clearwing (Synanthedon tipuliformis), and ...
