ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

Dendroindication of Retrospective Larch Defoliation [PDF]
We propose a method for dating of growth seasons of Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) following insect infestation events and defoliation. Needle damage during the growth phase triggers tree investment into additional growth of brachyblasts within ...

Chemoreception in larvae of the mothLymantria dispar [PDF]
Abstract Taste sensitivity in response to diet components was studied in larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, by means of electro‐physiological and behavioural approaches. Dose‐response rela tionships were studied for NaCl, sucrose, and nicotine solutions with the aim of better characterizing chemoreceptor cells involved in gustation.
