Settling moths as potential pollinators of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
Nocturnal pollinators such as moths have received less attention than diurnal insects. To elucidate whether nocturnal moths are important pollinators, we observed both the diurnal and nocturnal visitors to the flowers of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

Plant accession and insect infestation, rather than silicon supplementation, shape defence strategies of Arabidopsis halleri towards a leaf beetle

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Food induced variation of thermal constants of development and growth of Autographa gamma (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
The development stages of a species may have an identical lower development threshold (LDT) and proportionally different durations. This phenomenon called "rate isomorphy" (RI) has been demonstrated for a number of insect species.

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Differences in the searching behaviour of two strains of the egg parasitoid Telenomus busseolae (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
Telenomus busseolae Gahan (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) is an egg parasitoid, which is under evaluation for possible introduction into Italy as a biological control agent of the Corn Stalk Borer, Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Two

Egg Adhesion of the Codling Moth Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) to Synthetic Substrates

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was determined to be 15,329 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and an A+T-rich region.

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 486-500, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)
