Paving the Way for Plant‐Based Bioproduction of (Z)‐13‐Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...

The influence of pupal colour on diapause and post‐diapause success in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Sclerophyllous structural and chemical traits of mite‐induced galls on Crinodendron patagua (Elaeocarpaceae) leaves

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...

Restoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...

Planted grasslands have equivalent or higher arthropod biomass than native grassland important to nesting Sprague's Pipits (Anthus spragueii) early in the breeding season

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...
