Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 888-900, July 2025.ABSTRACT Short‐tongued saprophilous flies are a diverse but under‐appreciated group of pollinators, which are particularly important for flowers in the subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae‐Ceropegieae). This clade of plants is characterised by repeated shifts between tubular kettle‐trap and open non‐trap flowers and chemical mimicry (of ...

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Spatiotemporal distribution of neural crest cells in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 254, Issue 6, Page 551-567, June 2025.Abstract Background Neural crest cells (NCCs) are migratory embryonic stem cells that give rise to a diverse set of cell types. Here we describe the dynamic distribution of NCCs in developing embryos of the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis inferred from 10 markers.

Density‐Dependent Effects on the Reproductive Ecology of Trees in a Temperate Woodland
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.It is the joint outcome of positive and negative density‐dependent effects which will determine the spatial distribution of a plant population, yet they are rarely studied simultaneously. We related two indicators of reproductive success (fruit set and fruit drop) to the size and density of neighbouring conspecifics for Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn ...
