The web‐nesting spider mite Schizotetranychus brevisetosus Ehara attacks predators outside the nest, but the effectiveness of this behaviour is unknown. Spreading predator‐mimicking glass beads over the web induced intense patrolling behaviour in females, which even captured and attacked beads.

Founding and maintaining a seedcorn maggot (Delia platura) colony
Delia platura (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) is a generalist dipteran pest that can cause economically important damage to several crops. Maintaining D. platura colonies allows for year‐round research of their biology and behavior, which is essential for developing potential management strategies.

Aspects of the biology of Ovachlamys fulgens (Gude 1900) were studied under laboratory conditions in Costa Rica for 16 months. The lifespan of this snail in captivity was about nine months (N= 22) and it could lay viable eggs without mating (N= 40 ...

The caterpillars of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are emerging models to study innate immunity and plastic biodegradation. Both of these processes are impacted by the associations between the insect host and its gut microbiome. Although bacterial flora harbored by the larvae have been characterized, little is known

Can long‐term diapause/dormancy improve persistence in a positively autocorrelated environment?
Populations with longer‐diapauses polymorphisms are more stable and persist for longer than those with shorter‐length polymorphisms. Longer‐diapause polymorphisms are increasingly advantageous in environments of increasing positive temporal autocorrelation.

The optimised OlfactionROOM‐olfactometer addresses limitations in current olfactometers by preventing escape‐driven, random entry into olfactometer arms at the start of bioassay, which can otherwise negatively impact subsequent bioassay and results. Evaluating the OlfactionROOM‐olfactometer with Agriotes sputator beetles showed reduced insect agitation
