Does the superfluous killing exhibited by spiders mask the functional response parameters? A case study from the perspective of biological control

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 4, Page 364-370, May 2024.
Abstract The meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius L. (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) is a xylem‐sap feeder and the most abundant and widespread vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Xanthomonadales: Xanthomonadaceae) throughout Europe. Control strategies for the disease are based on containment and eradication measures regulated by the European Union.

Prevalence of the endoparasitoid Verrallia aucta in Central Scotland: A potential biocontrol for Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae), an important vector of Xylella fastidiosa

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 2, Page 158-170, March 2024.
Abstract Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen transmitted by xylem‐feeding insect vectors such as the meadow spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, family Aphrophoridae). Although X. fastidiosa is not currently found in the UK, methods for reducing vector populations will play an important role in controlling ...

The Chalcidoidea bush of life: evolutionary history of a massive radiation of minute wasps

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 34-63, February 2024.
Abstract Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting. Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of a hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant to phylogenetic resolution.

Diet in phenotypically divergent sympatric species of African weakly electric fish (genus: Campylomormyrus)—A hybrid capture/HTS metabarcoding approach

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, February 2024.
Abstract Ecological speciation within the mormyrid genus Campylomormyrus resulted in sympatric species exhibiting divergence in their feeding apparatus and electric organ discharge (EOD). This study documents the overall diet of the genus Campylomormyrus and examines the hypothesis that the Campylomormyrus radiation is caused by adaptation to different
