Assessing the Potential Distribution of Pseudoechthistatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in China Under Climate Change Using Species Distribution Models

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Unfavorable climatic conditions have always threatened the distribution patterns of organisms. Therefore, in the context of global warming, the question of how insects will evolve in response to climate change has become important, especially for those species that are less abundant.

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 597-610, April 2025.
The study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

Increased proportion of exclusion netting in the landscape affects pest damage in unnetted apple orchards

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 790-800, April 2025.
This study is the first to reveal that nets significantly impact pest dynamics on the scale of agricultural landscapes. We recommend landscape‐scale coordination in the deployment of nets, along with additional protective measures to mitigate their unintended effects on pests at the local and landscape scales.
