Discovery of I-WP minimal-surface-based photonic crystal in the scale of a longhorn beetle. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2021 The structural colours of certain insects are produced by three-dimensional periodic cuticle networks. The topology of the cuticle network is known to be based on the mathematically well-defined triply periodic minimal surface.

Continuous resin tapping for frankincense harvest increases susceptibility of Boswellia papyrifera (Del.) Hochst trees to longhorn beetle damage [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 Frankincense is an important tree resin that provides a livelihood in the semi-arid lower highlands of East Africa. In the absence of sustainable management strategies, Boswellia papyrifera trees were being overexploited, leading to a depletion of ...

Hybridization Potential of Two Invasive Asian Longhorn Beetles [PDF]
Insects, 2021 The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) and citrus longhorned beetle (CLB), Anoplophora chinensis (Förster) (both Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), are high-risk invasive pests that attack various healthy hardwood trees. These two species share some similar host plants and overlapping distributions in large parts of

Scale-dependent contribution of host-specificity and environmental factors to wood-boring longhorn beetle community assemblage in SW China [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Longhorn beetles are extremely rich wood-boring insects possessing larvae that feed on the xylem of trees and/or lianas, which have detrimental effects on plants; in turn, the hosting plants may play a fundamental role in shaping the longhorn beetle ...
