Predicted community consequences of spatially explicit global change‐induced processes on plant–insect networks

Ecology and Evolution
Plant–insect trophic systems should be particularly sensitive to processes altering species spatial co‐occurrences, as impacts on one level can cascade effectively through the strong trophic reliance to the other level.

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Exploitation of mitochondrial nad6 as a complementary marker for studying population variability in Lepidoptera

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
The applicability of mitochondrial nad6 sequences to studies of DNA and population variability in Lepidoptera was tested in four species of economically important moths and one of wild butterflies. The genetic information so obtained was compared to that

Impact of food scarcity on the foraging dynamics of Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Impacto da escassez de alimentos na dinâmica de forrageamento de Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Starvation duration alters predatory behaviour of Eriopis connexa, affecting aphid consumption and survival dynamics. Increased starvation enhances attack rate, accelerating prey depletion without substantially affecting handling time. Functional response remains type II, with stronger predation under prolonged food deprivation.

Processionary Moth Exposure in Europe: Toxic–Irritant and Immunoglobulin E‐Mediated Endotypes, Diagnosis and Management

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Most reactions are toxic–irritant, driven by epithelial injury and neuro‐inflammatory activation. IgE‐mediated allergy is less common but may cause immediate systemic reactions. Endotype differentiation guides diagnosis, risk stratification and management.

THE LEPIDOPTERA PEST SPECIES (INSECTA, LEPIDOPTERA) ON CABBAGE CROPS IN THE VILLAGE SIBIEL (SIBIU COUNTY) ROMANIA [PDF]

Scientific Papers Series : Management, Economic Engineering in Agriculture and Rural Development, 2017
This paper is only a part of one two years long study about the knowledge of parasitoide insects that control the populations of the Lepidoptera pest species on the cabbage crops in the inhabitants gardens from the village Sibiel (Sibiel county), Romania.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Using a Generic Blend of Pheromones to Simultaneously Attract a Diversity of Elaterid Beetle Species Native to Eastern North America

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed attraction of eight elaterid species to a “generic” pheromone blend containing their eight known pheromones or sex attractants. All eight species were attracted by their specific attractants, as expected. Six species were attracted to the blend, but the remaining two species were strongly inhibited by unknown blend components.
