Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 1879 Abstract Twenty-one species of Lepidoptera were obtained by Mr. George Gulliver; of these, seven are Rhopalocera and fourteen Heterocera; of the latter, four are new and probably endemic forms. Twelve of the species, including the whole of the Butterflies, have been previously known from Mauritius and Bourbon, and eight of them ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

A new species of sack-bearer moth (Lepidoptera, Mimallonidae) from Florida [PDF]
ZooKeysA rarely reported new species of Mimallonidae from Florida, USA, is described. Remarkably, the distinctive new species has not been seen across much of its historical range since the 1960s, and all records come from six somewhat isolated white sand ...
