Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

Eusocial bee species are exposed to different toxic element profiles despite foraging within the same landscape

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Effects of non‐host traces on behavioural responses of an egg parasitoid to substrate‐borne semiochemicals in a multi‐herbivore scenario

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In open arena assays, the response of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis to substrate‐borne semiochemicals left by the host Nezara viridula was affected by the non‐host Spodoptera littoralis. Non‐host larval traces reduced T. basalis residence time spent on walking traces from gravid N. viridula females but did not affect responses to walking traces

Beyond Immediate Givenness: Husserl's Content‐Apprehension Schema in Light of Merleau‐Ponty's Critique of Sensation

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Merleau‐Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception (2012 [1945]) opens with a detailed critique of traditional philosophical accounts of sensation, generally understood as having Husserl's “content‐apprehension schema” among its targets. The schema sees perception as resulting from the interpretation (“apprehension” or “apperception”) of “raw ...

PERIODIZING GEOLOGICALLY OUTWITH (AND WITHOUT?) THE ANTHROPOCENE: PASTS, AGENCIES, AND THE TERRESTRIAL

History and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a periodization that is generally understood to refer to an era of Terrestrial relationships that developed with modernization and nuclearization, the Anthropocene cannot be applied simply to premodern histories and texts. However, it has introduced historians to geological periodization as a mode of describing periods of changed ...

Seasonal variation in preen gland secretions of Tristram's Storm Petrel (Hydrobates tristrami)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Preen gland secretions are known to vary depending on sex, season and species and are thought to play essential roles in avian life history. However, their chemical composition and functions remain largely unclear in Procellariiform seabirds with well‐developed olfactory senses. Storm petrels, known for their distinctive body odour, may use preen gland
