Oviposition Site Selection in Relation to Hatchling Feeding Performance in Two Sympatric Papilio Butterflies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated oviposition site selection and hatchling feeding performance in two sympatric swallowtail butterflies, Papilio xuthus and Papilio memnon (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), that utilize Citrus trees as host plants. Our study suggests that each species has unique relationships between maternal oviposition preferences and hatchling feeding ...

Host Detection by Cuckoo Bumblebees: Choice Experiments Reveal Non‐Visual Cues Support Host Detection, but Accuracy Is Low

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Female Bombus vestalis cuckoo bumblebees were introduced to a flight arena containing four identical opaque boxes, featuring slits to release volatiles from the bumblebees inside. When only one box contained a developing host colony, the cuckoos were able to locate their hosts among the four boxes with 66.2% accuracy.

Biology of the Gall Midge Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of the Invasive Grass Cortaderia selloana

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Selective feeding and niche differentiation in adult boreal Odonata revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
COI metabarcoding of faecal pellets from three sympatric Odonata species in boreal Swedish wetlands revealed Diptera‐dominated diets, with mosquitoes only a minor component despite high availability. The larger hawker Libellula quadrimaculata showed greater dietary variance than the smaller damselflies, indicating size‐ and foraging strategy‐dependent ...

Allergen immunotherapy for equine insect bite hypersensitivity: Does it reduce clinical signs?

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is a common, recurrent allergic skin disease of horses. This critically appraised topic evaluated whether therapeutic allergen immunotherapy (AIT) reduces clinical signs in affected horses. Four databases were searched and five therapeutic clinical studies were retained.
