Systematics and biology of some species of Micrurapteryx Spuler (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) from the Holarctic Region, with re-description of M. caraganella (Hering) from Siberia [PDF]
During a DNA barcoding campaign of leaf-mining insects from Siberia, a genetically divergent lineage of a gracillariid belonging to the genus Micrurapteryx was discovered, whose larvae developed on Caragana Fabr. and Medicago L. (Fabaceae).

Effect of plant traits on host selection and performance of rape stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus napi Gyll.) (Col.: Curculionidae) on resynthesized lines and cultivars of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) [PDF]
During its long growing season oilseed rape is attacked by a wide range of insect pests. Infestation by rape stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus napi Gyll.) and cabbage stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus (Marsh.)) can cause major economic damage.
