Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)
We investigated mating in black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), an important source of animal feed. The number of spermatozoa stored in the spermathecae of females does not change after one, two and three matings of the male. BSF males and females mate multiple times under controlled conditions. The number of sperm in the

Effects of a temperate heatwave on diel rhythms of insect activity: A comparison across habitats
Counts of insects caught in pan traps in Norfolk, UK, exhibited a unimodal relationship with air temperature – a pattern also observed specifically for the orders Diptera and Hymenoptera. A temperate heatwave event reduced insect counts in the open meadow habitat by an estimated 81.9%, with smaller, non‐significant decreases observed in tree‐covered ...
