New food plants for insects Vilbasteana oculata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Otiorhynchus smreczynskii (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Baltic region

Environmental and Experimental Biology
Vilbasteana oculata (hemipteran) and Otiorhynchus smreczynskii (beetle) are alien species in countries around the Baltic Sea, and they are continuing to spread. Sometimes when entering new areas where other plant species are found, herbivores tend to add

An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 168-178, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

A new species of the genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Ukok Plateau (Western Siberia, Altai)

Ecologica Montenegrina, 2021
Russian Altai of Western Siberia is described and illustrated. This species is similar to O. janovskii Korotyaev, 1990 but differs from it in the long decumbent setae on the elytra, larger teeth on the femora, wider rostrum and weakly narrowed apex of ...

Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 260-287, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

Early Root Herbivory Impairs Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Colonization and Shifts Defence Allocation in Establishing Plantago lanceolata.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Research into plant-mediated indirect interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and insect herbivores has focussed on those between plant shoots and above-ground herbivores, despite the fact that only below-ground herbivores share the same ...

Does the Slow-Growth, High-Mortality Hypothesis Apply Below Ground? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Belowground tri-trophic study systems present a challenging environment in which to study plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions. For this reason, belowground examples are rarely available for testing general ecological theories.

Moisture tempers impairment of adult Otiorhynchus sulcatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) climbing ability by fluoropolymer, talc dust, and lithium grease [PDF]

, 2005
As part of a project to develop tools for the physical exclusion of flightless root weevils, adult black vine weevils (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.), were placed in open enclosures with smooth walls of glass, plastic or aluminum to test their ability ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

New Data on the Distribution of Southern Forests for the West Siberian Plain during the Late Pleistocene: A Paleoentomological Approach

Diversity, 2023
Subfossil remains of insects and branchiopod crustaceans (Cladocera and Notostraca) found in three late Pleistocene deposits in the Novosibirsk region in the vicinity of the village of Suzun have been described. The calibrated radiocarbon dates for these
