Impact of temperature and hypoxia on the size and survival of aquatic insects

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Understanding size–temperature relations is crucial for the conservation of aquatic insects. We hypothesised that the combination of high temperature and hypoxia will lead to a reduction in the size of larvae and pupae of aquatic insects (non‐biting midge, Chrionomus riparius). We showed that Chironomus riparius pupae were significantly smaller at 30°C

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

Rapid selection for increased dispersal rates by the endangered butterfly Phengaris (Maculinea) arion across restored landscapes

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
After reintroduction to the UK, the endangered butterfly Phengaris arion has naturally colonised >40 sites where its habitat has been restored. We studied seven factors that might be influencing dispersal. Isolation of sites was the most important constraint on the colonisation of new habitats, followed by the number, but not the density, of P.
