Integrating Plant Volatile Scents in Sustainable IPM Approaches for Fall Armyworm Control
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1304-1318, November 2025.ABSTRACT Since the invasion of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) into new regions, studies have oriented toward low‐cost management tools and methods. This study assessed the effects of volatile scents that are naturally emitted by essential oil (EO) plants on the severity of FAW and populations of its natural ...

Luring cannibal: Dishonest sexual signalling in the springbok mantis
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2849-2859, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual signals that attract the opposite sex are typically honest indicators of quality. However, sexually antagonistic selection can favour dishonest signals if poor quality members of the signalling sex can improve their own fitness at a cost to the opposite sex by ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Tropical savannahs experience pronounced seasonality, especially in rainfall and temperature, shaping plant productivity and resource availability. Yet, temporal patterns in insect diversity remain poorly understood. We investigated seasonal variation in species richness and community composition of moths (herbivores) and mantises (predators ...

A mantidfly in Cretaceous Spanish amber provides insights into the evolution of integumentary specialisations on the raptorial foreleg [PDF]
, 2019 Multiple predatory insect lineages have developed a raptorial lifestyle by which they strike and hold prey using modified forelegs armed with spine-like structures and other integumentary specialisations.

Strategic Deployment of Secondary Defences in the Springbok Mantis (Miomantis Caffra)
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 8, Page 13-21, August 2025.Prey often use multiple defences for warding off predator threats. But the factors that influence their optimal deployment are poorly understood. In the springbok mantis, we show that females utilise their defences strategically to match the level of the threat by fleeing in early phases of the predation sequence and standing their ground with startle ...

A Revision of Cretaceous Mantises and Their Relationships, Including New Taxa (Insecta: Dictyoptera: Mantodea) [PDF]
American Museum Novitates, 2003 All genera of Cretaceous mantises are reviewed, and diagnoses of some are revised based on re-examination of type specimens. Five new Mantodea are described from Cretaceous deposits on four continents, including: concretions in limestone from the Santana Formation of northeast Brazil (Aptian, 120 Ma), inclusions in amber from the Raritan Formation of ...

Mantises (Insecta: Mantodea) of the southwestern part of Odesa Region (Ukraine)
The Kharkov Entomological Society GazetteIn the southwestern part of Odesa Region, 167 localities were investigated. These are mainly steppe and meadow areas with varying degrees of grazing pressure, which have been preserved along the valleys of small rivers, in the coastal strips of lagoons and lakes, along gulches, as well as upland areas in the Landscape Reserve ‘Tarutynskyi Step’.

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2024.Abstract The use of organic materials has been widely promoted to improve soil health. Surface‐active soil macrofauna serves as a key biological indicator of soil health as it supports agricultural productivity. However, the effects of organic amendments on soil fauna and their relationships with crop production are still unknown in C‐limited soil ...
