Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Genital photoreceptors have crucial role in oviposition in Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus [PDF]
, 2001 Butterflies of both sexes have two pairs of extraocular photoreceptors on the genitalia. Here we demonstrate in female Papilio xuthus that a pair of the genital photoreceptors, P1s, is crucial for oviposition.

Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology
BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...

Morphology and function of the ovipositor mechanism in Ceraphronoidea (Hymenoptera, Apocrita)
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2013 The ovipositor of apocritan Hymenoptera is an invaluable source of phylogenetically relevant characters, and our understanding of its functional morphology stands to enlighten us about parasitoid life history strategies. Although Ceraphronoidea is one of

First records of Acrotaphus fuscipennis (Cresson) and of A. tibialis (Cameron) from the United States (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) [PDF]
, 2005 Acrotaphus fuscipennis (Cresson), distinctive because of its black wings and bright red body, is recorded for the first time from the United States. It was reared from araneid spiders collected in Florida, which constitutes the first host record for this

International Journal of Odonatology, 2011 A comparative study of female external genitalia was carried out in representatives of three dragonfly families that lay eggs exophytically, with special emphasis placed on skeletal musculature and sensilla. Female external genitalia are characteristically represented by the vulvar lamina and rudiments on the 9th sternum.

Bottom–up and top–down diversification: asymmetric processes over space and time
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Coevolution in trophic interactions is often considered as a major factor underlying diversification in interacting species. Most focus hitherto has however been on bottom–up processes where host‐associated differentiation drives diversification, and less on top–down processes through enemy‐associated differentiation.
