Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...
