Behavioral Ecology of an Invasive Species: Habitat and Mate Preference(s) in Drosophila Suzukii [PDF]
The invasive Spotted-Wing fruit fly, Drosophila suzukii, has inflicted substantial economic losses to the soft-fruit agriculture industry worldwide due to the ability of females in this species to use a large, serrated ovipositor to cut the fruit’s skin ...

Abstract This review provides a synthesis of the available knowledge on Carmenta foraseminis, an emerging cocoa pest in northern South America. This moth was first described in 1995 in Panama, and its proliferation across the Amazon basin is currently threatening the production of cocoa in the region and may endanger the sector's sustainability. Hence,

Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,

Stabilizing adaptation in an invasive species: Alfalfa weevil as a case study
Comparison of thermal thresholds, fecundity and longevity across three alfalfa weevil strains (California in the United States, Hamadan in Iran, Ebro Valley in Spain) reveal significant differences in demographic parameters. Weather‐driven physiologically based demographic models (PBDMs) developed from life table data explore strain adaptation to ...

Wildfire and intensive site preparation influence beetle assemblages by shaping habitat heterogeneity, with wildfire fostering biodiversity while disc trenching leads to long‐term species declines due to habitat homogenization. Post‐fire beetle succession follows a predictable trajectory, with early successional species dominating open habitats and ...

The role of larval density and food availability in life‐history traits of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
We investigated the effects of competition (food availability and larval density) on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) mortality and development. Food had a more pronounced effect on mortality and development time than density, but density had a higher impact on adult size and lifespan.
