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.

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]
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.

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 ...
