Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Mind(the)Plant: An expandable multimodal facility for the integrated characterization of plant behaviour

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding plant behaviour requires the integration of multiple phenotypic and physiological signals measured over time under controlled conditions. However, different plant signals are typically studied using separate experimental setups, limiting temporal alignment and integrative analyses.

Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Family meals for future health: A life‐course approach to type 2 diabetes risk reduction after gestational diabetes

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
The potential role of family meals in a life‐course approach to type 2 diabetes risk‐reduction after gestational diabetes. Abstract Aims Gestational diabetes (GDM) more than doubles maternal and child risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Post‐GDM, a life‐course approach to T2D risk reduction includes family nutrition‐focused health promotion.

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.
