Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...

Tri-trophic interaction involving host plants, black legume aphid, Aphis craccivora (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and the predator, Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
Interactions involving host plants (cowpea, groundnut, cotton, sunflower, greengram, blackgram) an insect herbivore, black legume aphid Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and a predator, the zigzag beetle Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius ...

Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) transcriptomic analysis and neuropeptidomics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Stinkbugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are of major economic importance as pest of crops. Among the species composing the stinkbug complex, Nezara viridula is one of the most abundant in Brazil, Argentina and the Southern USA. However, this species has been

Mixed plant and arthropod biodiversity responses to solar park establishment on former agricultural lands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results suggest that while biodiversity can increase in solar parks post‐conversion compared to previous land use, not all taxonomic groups benefit from the land use change. Potential benefits for certain groups (particularly for butterflies and soil‐emergent arthropods) are likely lost due to disturbance during land conversion and solar panel ...

The plant bug genus Psallus (Heteropera: Miridae) in the Korean Peninsula with descriptions of three new species

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
There are twenty-six species of the genus Psallus Fieber, 1858 (Phylinae: Phylini) documented in the Korean Peninsula. Three new species are described: Psallus cheongtaensis sp. n., P. ernsti sp. n. and P. suwonanus sp.

Putting scales into evolutionary time: the divergence of major scale insect lineages (Hemiptera) predates the radiation of modern angiosperm hosts

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
The radiation of flowering plants in the mid-Cretaceous transformed landscapes and is widely believed to have fuelled the radiations of major groups of phytophagous insects.

Experimental resource supplementation shifts ant‐mediated defence on silver cholla

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
The partitioning of EFN resources between ant species influences defence and subsequent fitness effects on silver cholla. Abstract Extrafloral nectaries (EFN) often mediate facultative mutualisms between plants and ants. Ants obtain a nutrient‐rich food source from plants in exchange for defending the plant from herbivores.

A contribution to the karyosystematics of the planthopper families Dictyopharidae and Fulgoridae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2009
The chromosome complements of thirteen species of the planthopper family Dictyopharidae are described and illustrated. For each species, the structure of testes and, on occasion, ovaries is additionally outlined in terms of the number of seminal ...

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...
