Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16618-16633, December 2021., 2021 Two lakes in central Florida were surveyed for insects and the associated fungal parasites, Laboulbeniales. One of the lakes had been the site of intensive restoration efforts while the other lake is highly developed and un‐restored. This study found stark differences in fungal diversity between the sites, and explores the possibility of the use of ...

Updated pest categorisation of Xylella fastidiosa
EFSA Journal, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2018., 2018 Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Plant Health Panel updated its pest categorisation of Xylella fastidiosa, previously delivered as part of the pest risk assessment published in 2015. X. fastidiosa is a Gram‐negative bacterium, responsible for various plant diseases, including Pierce's disease, phony peach disease ...

Predatory Behavior of the Basilica Spider, Mecynogea Lemniscata (Araneae, Araneidae)
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 99, Issue 2-3, Page 153-168, 1992., 1992 Females of Mecynogea lemniscata (Walckenaer) are generalist predators. Sixteen behavioral acts were described for M. lemniscata preying on house flies, carpenter ants, and Asiatic oak weevils in the field and laboratory. Behavioral sequences varied with prey type, but generally began with plucking and diverged there‐after.

Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 495-518, July 2025.Using genomic data from 285 species across 19 planthopper families, we conducted the first phylogenomic study targeting global planthoppers and inferred their phylogeny with the highest resolution so far. We proposed taxonomic changes including the establishment of a new family Borysthenidae stat. rev. and a new superfamily Meenoploidea superfam.

Robot‐Aided Measurement of Insect Diversity on Vegetation Using Environmental DNA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We developed a novel method combining drone‐based sampling and environmental DNA (eDNA) with Oxford Nanopore sequencing to monitor insect biodiversity on vegetation. Using a DJI Matrice 3 drone, we collected eDNA samples from grassland, shrub and forest habitats in Switzerland, detecting 64 insect taxa and revealing habitat‐specific differences in ...

Comparison of water and terrestrial jumping in natural and robotic insects
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1537, Issue 1, Page 13-31, July 2024.Jumping of small creatures demands high power to surpass size‐related speed limits. They employ various mechanisms to amplify power release. Furthermore, semi‐aquatic jumpers use specialized techniques to maximize the momentum transfer from the water.
