Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

A Key and Annotated List of the Scutelleroidea of Michigan (Hemiptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Excerpt: Although Hussey (1922) compiled a list of the Hemiptera of Berrien County, and Stoner (1922) contributed a list of the Scutelleroidea of the Douglas Lake region, no publications have dealt with Michigan Scutelleroidea on a state-wide basis ...

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Parasites of Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and Other Hemiptera in Florida

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1980
Trichopoda pennipes (Fab.) (Tachinidae) parasitized Nezara viridula (L.) adults (72%) and 4th and 5th instars (19%). It was collected from 8 other hosts in 3 hemipterous families. Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Scelionidae) parasitized 45% of N. viridula egg masses and was collected from 5 other pentatomid hosts.

EntoSieve: Automated Size‐Sorting of Insect Bulk Samples to Aid Accurate Megabarcoding and Metabarcoding

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Widespread insect decline necessitates the development and use of standardized protocols for regular monitoring. These methods have to be rapid, efficient and cost‐effective to allow for large‐scale implementation. Many insect sampling and molecular methods have been developed.

Semi‐tilling maintains the arthropod food web structure but decreases biological pest control in olive groves

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

ON TWO NEW HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1886
Among a very interesting collection of Mexican and other Hemiptera sent to me by Mr. Samuel Henshaw, Curator of Boston Society of Natural History, for identification, I find two species new to science and peculiar to genera never before detected in North America, although both are well represented in the European fauna.In the first genus, Stenocephalus

Preserving Short‐Sward Natural Grasslands May Provide Suitable Foraging Habitat for a Climate‐Threatened Alpine Species Along Ski‐Pistes

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Investigating the ultimate factors that underpin the impacts of ski‐pistes on alpine species is crucial to identify concrete mitigation strategies. This is urgently needed given that winter sports are expanding in mountain ranges worldwide. We evaluated the impacts of ski‐pistes on the foraging behaviour of the white‐winged snowfinch, an iconic alpine ...
