The relationship between body size and diet breadth in non‐web building spiders

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 311-317, April 2025.
There was no relationship between taxonomic niche diet breadth measured by Hill and spider body size. The minimum prey size did not show any relationship with spider body size. On the other hand, mean, maximum, range and variability in prey size increased with spider body size.

Comparative Diets of Invasive Blue Catfish: Differences Across Rivers and Ontogenetic Stages

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) are an invasive species with expanding populations in freshwater systems, posing significant ecological challenges to native fauna. To assess their potential impacts in diverse aquatic ecosystems, we examined and compared the diets of non‐native Blue Catfish from four rivers in Georgia, USA, two of which drain

Vector Biology of the Soft Scales Parthenolecanium corni (Bouché) and Parthenolecanium persicae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) With Grapevine Leafroll‐Associated Viruses and Grapevine Virus A

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 3, Page 405-416, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Controlled experiments were conducted to enrich our knowledge on the transmission of different grapevine leafroll‐associated ampeloviruses (GLRaV‐1, ‐2, ‐3 and ‐4) by Parthenolecanium corni scale insect and to look for vector ability of Parthenolecanium persicae. GLRaV‐1 and the vitivirus GVA were transmitted by P.

Evaluation of Trap Crops and the Presence of the Predator Nabis americoferus for the Management of the Tarnished Plant Bug in Strawberries

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 3, Page 372-383, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The polyphagous tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), inflicts substantial damage to strawberries and to several other valuable crops, impacting both yield quantity and quality. Effective control strategies are crucial to mitigate these losses. This study aimed to elucidate TPB host preferences

Phylogeny, biogeography and morphological evolution of the treehopper‐like leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Megophthalminae and Ulopinae

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 296-308, April 2025.
Phylogenetic analyses of anchored hybrid data strongly supported the leafhopper subfamilies Megophthalminae and Ulopinae as monophyletic clades closely related to treehoppers, but some tribes within these two groups are nonmonophyletic. The origin of Megophthalminae and Ulopinae was estimated at ~140 million years ago, and the divergence within each ...
