A Smelly Conflict: The Role of Olfactory Information in the Interaction of Insect Herbivores and Their Natural Enemies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Insect herbivores rely on olfactory cues to locate natural‐enemy‐free spaces for feeding or ovipositing; conversely, natural enemies detect herbivores by chemical cues from damaged plants or from the herbivores themselves. Based on the reviewed findings, we suggest that herbivores and natural enemies converge towards using specific olfactory cues. This

Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

Climatic, biogeographic and ecological factors influence the spatial patterns of odd‐ and even‐year dominance in biennial European butterflies and burnet moths

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
250,000 observations of 7 annual, 11 biennial and 4 flexible lepidoptera species in the Alps and over 150,000 observations of 5 biennial species from Scandinavia were analysed. Maps show distinct patterns of different species that fly predominantly in odd or even years in the researched areas.

Selective feeding and niche differentiation in adult boreal Odonata revealed by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
COI metabarcoding of faecal pellets from three sympatric Odonata species in boreal Swedish wetlands revealed Diptera‐dominated diets, with mosquitoes only a minor component despite high availability. The larger hawker Libellula quadrimaculata showed greater dietary variance than the smaller damselflies, indicating size‐ and foraging strategy‐dependent ...

Evolutionary history suggests nymphal origin of antennal expansions in adult leaf‐footed bugs História evolutiva sugere origem ninfal de antenas expandidas em Coreídeos adultos

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Antennal expansions are rare among adult species but are more common among nymphal stages. Despite this, expansions occurred mainly in Coreinae, which are the most diverse subfamily of Coreidae. Among genera, adults only showed antennal expansions when nymphs showed expansions.
