Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

In open arena assays, the response of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis to substrate‐borne semiochemicals left by the host Nezara viridula was affected by the non‐host Spodoptera littoralis. Non‐host larval traces reduced T. basalis residence time spent on walking traces from gravid N. viridula females but did not affect responses to walking traces

Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

The parasitoid‐associated polydnavirus CgPDV, but not venom alone, significantly increases the attractiveness of Pieris brassicae caterpillars to the hyperparasitoid Baryscapus galactopus at close range. Naturally parasitized caterpillars elicit stronger hyperparasitoid attraction than any injection treatment, indicating that additional factors beyond ...

Temperature elevation broadens the dietary niche of an insect herbivore
The realised dietary niche in Chrysomela lapponica was the narrowest at 10°C, whereas higher temperatures (15–25°C) broadened the dietary niche by increasing preference for and survival on suboptimal host plants. Elevated temperature broadened the realised dietary niche through both direct effects on beetles and indirect effects mediated by temperature‐
