Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

Temperature elevation broadens the dietary niche of an insect herbivore

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The realised dietary niche in Chrysomela lapponica was the narrowest at 10°C, whereas higher temperatures (15–25°C) broadened the dietary niche by increasing preference for and survival on suboptimal host plants. Elevated temperature broadened the realised dietary niche through both direct effects on beetles and indirect effects mediated by temperature‐

Evidence for a defensive ceiling in the effectiveness of plant silicon defences against an insect herbivore

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Silicon‐mediated resistance in wheat reaches a defensive plateau; accumulating silicon beyond 2mM provides no additional benefit for suppressing insect herbivore relative growth rates. Silicon supplementation significantly increases wheat biomass and effectively ameliorates plant mass losses caused by Helicoverpa armigera herbivory. Lower mandible wear

Canopy position and tree size structure the distribution of honeydew‐producing scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in a temperate hardwood forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Scale insect abundance peaked in the upper canopy of sugar maples. Parthenolecanium peaked on older internodes; Lepidosaphes on the current leader. Internodes longer than the previous carried more scales; wider ones fewer. Abstract Forest canopies are vertically stratified habitats in which microclimate and host tissue quality vary with height.

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.
