We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.

Successful rearing of Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid parasitoid of invasive Japanese beetle, depended on conditions before, during, and after overwintering. Longer cold exposure increased adult emergence and accelerated post‐diapause development. Early transfer of puparia to cool conditions improved survival, while spring temperature manipulation ...

An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

Floral richness drives flower–insect networks in city gardens and allotments
Floral richness was the main driver of flower visits within green spaces whilst green space in the surrounding landscape influenced flower visits by amplifying the effects of floral richness. Native plants received more visits than non‐native plants, although flower visitor richness to non‐native plants increased later in the season as non‐native plant
