Starvation duration alters predatory behaviour of Eriopis connexa, affecting aphid consumption and survival dynamics. Increased starvation enhances attack rate, accelerating prey depletion without substantially affecting handling time. Functional response remains type II, with stronger predation under prolonged food deprivation.

ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

ABSTRACT Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) is an invasive pentatomid species causing considerable economic losses in agricultural systems. Despite the ecological importance of the metathoracic scent gland (MTG) in chemical defence and communication, detailed information on its morphology and secretion composition remains limited. In the present study, the

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

Understanding climate-sensitive tick development and diapause with a structured population model
IntroductionTick-borne diseases have become a growing public health concern globally. As climate change reshapes the environment, tick populations are expected to expand into previously unsuitable areas, further increasing human exposure to ticks and the

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...
