A putative nursery pollination mutualism between Japanese Chrysosplenium plants and Nipponorhynchus sawflies

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding ecological interactions is increasingly important for biodiversity conservation. This study reveals a unique nursery pollination mutualism between Japanese endemic plants and sawflies. These partners exhibit tightly synchronized life cycles in riparian forests, making them sensitive to environmental changes.

Requirement for Drosophila SNMP1 for rapid activation and termination of pheromone-induced activity. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Pheromones are used for conspecific communication by many animals. In Drosophila, the volatile male-specific pheromone 11-cis vaccenyl acetate (cVA) supplies an important signal for gender recognition.

Mating history shapes Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility and female fitness in an insect pest

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Mating order and remating of females by males with different endosymbiont associations strongly shape Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility, female fitness and offspring sex ratio. An incompatible first mating was weakly affected if followed by a compatible mating and vice versa, indicating strong first‐male sperm precedence with consequences ...

Uncharted territory: the arrival of Psychoda albipennis (Zetterstedt, 1850) (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Maritime Antarctica

Frontiers in Insect Science
Despite increasing awareness of the threats they pose, exotic species continue to arrive in Antarctica with anthropogenic assistance, some of which inevitably have the potential to become aggressively invasive.

A decision underlies phototaxis in an insect [PDF]

Open Biology, 2016
Like a moth into the flame—phototaxis is an iconic example for innate preferences. Such preferences probably reflect evolutionary adaptations to predictable situations and have traditionally been conceptualized as hard-wired stimulus–response links ...

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Impact of Lufenuron 5.4% EC on Major Arthropod Diversity in Cabbage

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2019
An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of insecticide, lufenuron 5.4% EC on arthropod diversity in cabbage ecosystem. The two seasons diversity indices revealed 2866 arthropods from 26 families under eight orders in sprayed and unsprayed ...
