Asymmetric oviposition behaviour between Drosophila suzukii and Drosophila subpulchrella suggests competition for the shared niche in their native range

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Release from competitors is one of the mechanisms ascribed to the ecological success of invasive species outside their native range. However, empirical studies supporting it are limited. Drosphila subpulchrella is endemic to the native range of D. suzukii, an invasive pest known as the spotted‐wing drosophila.

Diet C:N ratio and temperature influence the performance and colouration of tobacco hornworms

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Melanization can help insects deal with environmental temperatures, but melanin synthesis can depend on nutrient availability. We tested whether the diet C:N ratio and temperature influence Manduca sexta performance and colouration. Larvae performed better at the warmer temperature of 27°C compared to 18°C and had a lighter colour when fed a low ...

How does ageing affect life history traits and cold tolerance in summer‐versus winter‐acclimated fruit flies?

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ageing leads to a decline in function and drives phenotypic senescence. At the end of winter, the surviving fruit flies, which are expected to rebuild new generations, are likely to be senescent. Our study examines the impact of ageing on stress tolerance and reproductive potential of summer‐ versus winter‐acclimated Drosophila suzukii phenotypes (both
