Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 148-159, May 2025.Abstract The presence of predators can induce non‐consumptive effects on prey that result in subsequent changes to prey behaviour and defence. We investigate the interaction between top‐down non‐consumptive effects of various stages of the predator Coccinella septempunctata L.(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (larvae and adult) and bottom‐up effects of host ...

Ökomorphologie : Integration von Form, Funktion und Ökologie bei der Analyse morphologischer Strukturen [PDF]
, 2008 Organisms are complex entities whose study has necessitated an increasingly reductionistic stance in modern biology (CAPLAN 1987). As a consequence, biology as a science has been split up into numerous sub-disciplines.

Entomo-venomics: the evolution, biology and biochemistry of insect venoms [PDF]
, 2018 The insects are a hyperdiverse class containing more species than all other animal groups combined-many of which employ venom to capture prey, deter predators and micro-organisms, or facilitate parasitism or extra-oral digestion.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 369-386, April 2025.Onciderines originated c. 56 Ma, in the Palaeocene‐Eocene boundary, and consist of two major monophyletic lineages, here established as subtribes Hypsiomatina and Onciderina. A novel, female‐specific mechanism of attacking host plants known as girdling evolved independently and irreversibly at least five times in the onciderines.

The structure of extremely long mouthparts in the aphid genus Stomaphis Walker (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) [PDF]
, 2015 Scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy were used to elucidate the morphology of labium and mandibular and maxillary stylets of the aphids Stomaphis quercus (L.) and S. graffii Cholodkovsky.

Linking effect traits of soil fauna to processes of organic matter transformation
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 446-461, February 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic matter (SOM) transformation processes are regulated by the activities of plants, microbes, and fauna. Compared with plants and microbes, effects of soil fauna are less understood because of their high taxonomic and functional diversity, and mix of direct ...

From Spinning Silk to Spreading Saliva: Mouthpart Remodeling in Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]
, 2019 As a model organism, the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta (Linnaeus 1763) has contributed much to our knowledge of developmental processes in insects, and major developmental changes between different larval instars are generally well understood.

Comparative Morphology of the Mouthparts in Three Predatory Stink Bugs (Heteroptera: Asopinae) Reveals Feeding Specialization of Stylets and Sensilla [PDF]
, 2020 Mouthpart structures were observed in three species of Asopinae using scanning electron microscopy to investigate their morphological disparity.

, 2018 Social wasps perform a variety of tasks with their mouthparts. Female workers use them to feed on carbohydrate-rich fluids, to build nests by collecting wood fibers and forming paper, to hunt and manipulate insect prey for feeding larvae as well as for ...
