PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

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).

Insect pests in Brassica napus crops: toward ecologically optimized integrated pest management
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Ecologically optimized IPM: Integrating landscape, biological, and chemical strategies for enhanced pest management. Key findings: Optimizing canola IPM requires the deliberate alignment of habitat diversification, behavioral conditioning, and evolutionary processes.

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.

Shifting body weight-fecundity relationship in a capital breeder : maternal effects on egg numbers of the autumnal moth under field conditions [PDF]
, 2013 In the literature, various environmental factors are described as being capable of influencing the reproductive output of insect females irrespective of their body size. Still, female body size or weight is widely used as a proxy for fecundity.

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 ...

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 ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.In canola production systems in Australia, practices for the use of beneficials (arthropod predators and parasitoids) as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, have not been widely adopted. We outline how canola growers and their advisors can be supported with incremental steps, from passive to active management, to help shift them from ...
