Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible
Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Inheritance of Female Flight in Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) [PDF]
Environmental Entomology, 2007 A clinal female flight polymorphism exists in the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L., where female flight diminishes from east to west across Eurasia. A Russian population where females are capable of sustained ascending flight and a North American population with females incapable of flight were crossed: parentals, reciprocal F(1) hybrids, double ...

Evidence of Spatial Synchrony in the Spread of an Invasive Forest Pest
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.Although synchrony in population growth rates and abundance is ubiquitous across many taxa, this study demonstrates a new manifestation of this phenomenon, that of spatial synchrony in range expansion. Just as climatic drivers can produce synchrony in population growth or abundance, we show that synchronised fluctuations in seasonal climate conditions,

Arthropods Associated With Purple Loosestrife in Illinois Wetlands [PDF]
, 2018 We estimated and described the arthropod fauna on purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) plants in northeastern Illinois wetlands. A total of 1063 individual arthropods were collected—930 insects and 133 arachnids.

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...

Analysis of correlation structure in Lymantria dispar L. larvae from locally adapted populations [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2013 The influence of allelochemical stress and population origin on the patterns of phenotypic and genetic correlations among life history traits and digestive enzyme activities were investigated in larvae of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L ...

Growing degree‐days do not explain moth species' distributions at broad scales
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Growing degree‐days (GDD), an estimate of an organism's growing season length, has been shown to be an important predictor of Lepidopteran species' distributions and could be influencing Lepidopteran range shifts to climate change. Yet, one understudied simplification in this literature is that the same thermal threshold is used in the ...

Bibliographic Guide to the Terrestrial Arthropods of Michigan: Supplement 1 [PDF]
, 2017 A list of publications dealing with faunistic studies, range extensions, systematics, and identification of the terrestrial arthropods of Michigan is presented, primarily for the period of 1983-1987. Correlation is also made between earlier entomological

Physiological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 1-13, March 2024.Aestivating M. diploterus has shown an increase in thermal tolerance as it progresses into and through its aestivation cycle (from November to June). Examination of physiological changes for survival was investigated by examining the insects' biochemical compositional changes as well as heat shock protein changes that occur over time.
