Changes in preferred e‐cigarette flavor, nicotine concentration, wattage and air valve settings and cigarette consumption during a switching trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To characterize changes in preferred e‐cigarette (EC) flavor, nicotine concentration, wattage and air valve openness over 12 weeks among adults who smoke and are attempting to switch to ECs, and examine whether these changes are associated with cigarettes smoked per day (CPD).

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Transgenic and histological approaches to investigating the development of the stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni [PDF]

, 2009
Stalk-eyed flies of the family Diopsidae have their eyes laterally displaced on the end of head extensions called “eye-stalks”. Diopsids vary in their degree of sexual dimorphism for eyespan (distance between the eyes).

Comparing time‐lapse photography and traditional human observation in collecting crop pollinator visitation data Ajastetun valokuvauksen ja perinteisen suoran havainnoinnin vertailu kerättäessä tietoa pölyttäjien kukkakäynneistä viljelykasveilla

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse photography with commercially available trail cameras provides a competitive alternative to direct human observations for documenting pollinator flower visits, but its performance varies between crops. In apple, the cameras recorded more diverse pollinator assemblages than the human observer due to larger temporal coverage of the camera ...

Visual attraction cues associated with tachinid pollination: insights from colour variation in Succisella microcephala (Caprifoliaceae)

Journal of Pollination Ecology
Pollination syndromes describe convergent floral traits linked to specific pollinator groups. While conceptually useful, the application of this framework to diverse insect assemblages, such as Diptera, remains challenging due to their functional ...

Climatic factors, landscape composition and host plant traits co‐drive fruit infestation of unmanaged walnut trees by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa (Cresson, 1929) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The study examined multiscale factors influencing walnut fruit infestations by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa. Infestation rates increased with fruit size, host tree abundance, grasslands, hedgerows and temperatures, but decreased with anthropogenic habitats and heavy spring rainfall.

A revision of the genus Armillipora Quate (Diptera: Psychodidae) with the descriptions of two new species

European Journal of Taxonomy
The genus Armillipora Quate is recorded for the first time in Ecuador, with a new geographical record for Armillipora selvica Quate, 1996 and the descriptions of two new species, namely Armillipora muyu sp. nov. and Armillipora imitata sp.

Biology, ecology and dynamics of Deborrea malgassa (Heylarts 1884) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), the main threat to apple Malus domestica Borkh growing in Madagascar

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Bioecology parameters of the endemic Psychidae Deborrea malgassa, the main pest of apple trees in Madagascar. Spatiotemporal dynamics of Deborrea malgassa, with a peak infestation between May and August. Proposed targeted prophylaxis techniques associated with other agroecological principles will be key to reducing the vulnerability of apple orchards ...

Evolution of wing scales in Diptera documented by fossils

Zoological Letters
Among the insects with wings clad in scales, the butterflies are the best known and those showing greatest variety of scale types. In the Diptera, some families or particular genera of two large groups are known to bear scales on wings, i.e., mosquitoes (
