Behavioral responses of bioluminescent fireflies to artificial light at night

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Bioluminescent insects have been the subject of scientific interest and popular wonder for millennia. But in the 21st century, the fireflies, click beetles, and cave glow-worms that brighten our nights are threatened by an unprecedented competitor ...

Identification of potential predators of western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) in field corn through molecular gut‐content analysis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1165-1176, November 2025.
The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

Male Glow‐Worms Combine Flying With Walking and Impede One Another in Their Scramble to Reach Females

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Using an observational approach in field and laboratory settings we investigated male glow‐worms' approach to females to determine whether their behaviour is consistent with scramble competition. Our results show that males combine flying and walking, favouring the latter during the final stage of their approach to females.

"Parasite-induced aposematism" protects entomopathogenic nematode parasites against invertebrate enemies [PDF]

, 2015
Aposematism is a well-known strategy in which prey defend themselves from predation by pairing defenses such as toxins, with warning signals that are often visually conspicuous color patterns.

The Role of Pigments in Light Color Variation of the Firefly Photinus pyralis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
We tested the novel hypothesis that genes encoding enzymes and transporters in pigment pathways (“pigment genes”) produce pigments in the firefly light organ that filter bioluminescent light, tuning the color of emitted light signals to match visual sensitivity. We detected the gene expression of 46 ommochrome and pterin pigment genes in P.

Biology and rearing technique for the mangrove firefly, Pteroptyx valida (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) Olivier, with discussion of additional instar in female

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020
With increasing pressure from many threats including firefly tourism and urbanization, rearing of Pteroptyx fireflies and reintroducing the species to habitats with low populations is a conservation challenge. Here we report a novel rearing technique for

Advances in Π‐Conjugated Benzothiazole and Benzoxazole‐Boron Complexes: Exploring Optical and Biomaterial Applications

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 46, Issue 8, April 2025.
This mini‐review explores the advancement of benzothiazole (BTz)‐ and benzoxazole (BOz)‐based boron‐complexed dyes, extending the capabilities of BODIPY structures through the incorporation of electron‐deficient ligands. These materials drive innovations in light emitting diodes (LEDs), bioimaging, and mechanochromic luminescence (MCL), addressing ...
