Butterflies, bumblebees and hoverflies are equally effective pollinators of Knautia arvensis (Caprifoliaceae), a generalist plant species with compound inflorescences

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 685-696, June 2025.
Abstract Plant‐pollinator interactions exist along a continuum from complete specialisation to highly generalised, that may vary in time and space. A long‐held assumption is that large bees are usually the most effective pollinators of generalist plants.

From Stream to Bloom: Exploring the Potential Role of Aquatic Insects for Pollination in Wetland Environments

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 711-724, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The substantial loss of insects we are experiencing today has been highlighted all over the world. There is a growing concern about the global decline of pollinators and its impact on terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems, but the focus of scientists towards bees remains the rule.

Fluralaner treatment of chickens kills the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 385-392, June 2025.
Chickens treated with fluralaner, fenbendazole or ivermectin did not repel Culex quinquefasciatus from feeding. The mortality of Culex quinquefasciatus feeding on fluralaner‐treated chickens was significantly higher than that of those fed on control chickens at 3 and 7 days post‐treatment.

The effect of size on mate selection, fecundity and survival in Culex pipiens mosquitoes

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 204-215, June 2025.
Larval diet affects male and female adult size, female fecundity and female survival. Large non‐blood–fed females lived longer than small non‐blood–fed females. Mate size did not influence mating rate (insemination status). Even though larger females are more fit, males mated equally to large and small females when given the option. Blood feeding has a
