Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We used iNaturalist records, a longitudinal field survey, and a simulated herbivory experiment to explore how insect herbivory factors are associated with Cornus canadensis fruit production. Naturally observed internal and external insect herbivory was mostly low intensity and did not have a strong relationship with fruit production.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Antennal expansions are rare among adult species but are more common among nymphal stages. Despite this, expansions occurred mainly in Coreinae, which are the most diverse subfamily of Coreidae. Among genera, adults only showed antennal expansions when nymphs showed expansions.

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract While the presence of invasive plants as contaminants in potted plants is a well‐known phenomenon, its significance as a potential phytosanitary risk remains frequently underestimated. Coco peat, often used as a growing medium for potted plants, is also imported as a standalone commodity, creating an additional pathway for introduction.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis) populations had moderate levels of genetic diversity at microsatellites with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.43 to 0.58, and populations more than 10 km apart were differentiated from one another. Weak patterns of isolation by distance and low effective population sizes suggest that all but the largest ...
