Artificial Selection of Early Emerging Helpers in the Cooperatively Breeding Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborinus saxesenii and Its Effects on Various Life History Traits and Their Fungal Symbionts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
In cooperative breeding societies, temporary groups of mature offspring are formed that assist in the rearing of additional brood before the offspring disperse and reproduce independently. It is hypothesized that the delayed dispersal period of helpers will determine the number of siblings that can be reared, thus resulting in an indirect fitness gain.

Clear effects of population and sex but not rearing temperature on stress tolerance in a temperate butterfly

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
With temperatures rising globally due to climate change, an organism's survival depends both on its direct tolerance to rising temperatures and its tolerance to indirect effects of warming, such as resource shortage. Genetic background and phenotypic plasticity in the form of acclimation are known to affect stress tolerance, but much about genetic ...

Exploring reversibility and contrasting patterns in temperature–size relationships across spatial and temporal scales using subfossil chironomids

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
The extent to which different magnitudes and directions of temperature fluctuations explain long‐term trends in aquatic invertebrate body size is largely unknown. Using elevational gradients and paleolimnological reconstructions, we tested the hypotheses that the size of subfossil chironomid (non‐biting midges) head capsules (HCs) will covary with ...

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6630-6638, October 2025.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.

Defining the parameters of comet assay for reliably detecting DNA damage as a marker of X‐ray based irradiation in insects treated with non‐lethal doses for export fruit sanitation

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 7232-7243, October 2025.
Houseflies, clover root weevils, and mangoes were used to demonstrate the comet assay's adaptability. Our findings indicate that the comet assay can reliably detect irradiation‐induced DNA damage in both insects and fruit. However, the assay parameters require careful adjustment to account for differences in insect tissue types and life stages ...
