Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes,outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Daily Rhythms of Sex Pheromone Emission and Courtship Behaviour in the Neotropical Brown Stink Bug Euschistus heros

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the chemical and behavioural ecology of the Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is essential for developing effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in South American soybean production. This study investigated the courtship behaviour and diel periodicity of sex pheromone emission.
