Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

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 ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Natural history museums curate billions of insect specimens, representing an unparalleled record of biodiversity. Although large‐scale digitization has expanded access to specimen images, extracting label metadata remains a major bottleneck, typically requiring time‐intensive manual transcription.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]
, 2004 Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,
