Inhabiting warm microhabitats and risk-spreading as strategies for survival of a phytophagous insect living in common pastures in the Pyrenees

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
The breakdown of the transhumant grazing system in the Spanish Pyrenees has led to a severe decline in the area of pastures. However, in the high mountain zone there are still large areas of species-rich grasslands.

Candidatus Liberibacter Solanacearum’ Is Unlikely to Be Transmitted Spontaneously from Infected Carrot Plants to Citrus Plants by Trioza Erytreae

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Bacteria belonging to ‘Candidatus Liberibacter spp.’ are associated with various severe diseases in the five continents. The African citrus psyllid Trioza erytreae (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is an efficient vector of citrus huanglongbing-HLB disease, absent ...

The Life Cycle Relative to Temperature of Protaphorura Armatus (Tullberg) (Collembola: Onychiuridae), a Parathenogenetic Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Apparent parthenogenetic reproduction in Collembola has sometimes been attributed to accidental transfer of spermatophores with the food material from one culture to another (Schaller, 1953; Mayer, 1957).

Ovipositional responses of tortricid moths to sugars, salts and neem oil

open access: yesScientific Reports
Oviposition is essential in the life history of insects and is mainly mediated by chemical and tactile cues present on the plant surface. Oviposition deterrents or stimulants can modify insect oviposition and be employed in pest control.

Influence of barometric pressure on odor discrimination and oviposition by adult plum curculios (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2003
We conducted laboratory experiments to elucidate the influence of barometric pressure on odor discrimination and oviposition and feeding behavior of adult female plum curculios, Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst).

Determining the Effect of Different Reproduction Factors on the Yield and Hatching of Tenebrio Molitor Eggs

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Whereas the production of conventional livestock can rely on years of knowledge and experience, the mealworm production industry is still in its early stages.

Diurnal Oviposition of Blow Flies in Different Aged Carrion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are among the first insects to oviposit (lay eggs) on carrion. The timing of blow fly oviposition is critical for determining a postmortem interval (PMI) estimation, which is the time that has passed between death and ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.

Oviposition experience affects oviposition preference in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesiScience
Learning, memorizing, and recalling of potential ovipositing sites can influence oviposition preference. Classical conditioning experiments have shown that vinegar flies can learn the association of olfactory, gustatory, or visual stimuli with either positive or negative unconditioned stimuli.
