Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Temperature is an important factor to determine the activity of insects. We tested the performance of the non‐native larval parasitoid Leptopilina japonica (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) under realistic climatic conditions to improve understanding about its ongoing spread and seasonal abundance.

Oviposition behaviour of Gryon gallardoi (Hym.; Scelionidae) on eggs of Spartocera dentiventris (Hem.; Coreidae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2003 The oviposition behaviour of Gryon gallardoi (Hymenoptera; Scelionidae) on Spartocera dentiventris (Hemiptera; Coreidae) host eggs was investigated in the laboratory. Masses of 12 non-parasitized freshly laid (less than 24 h old) eggs were exposed to 2-5

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Flexible ovipositor sheaths in Hymenoptera (Insecta)
, 2003 The structure of the ovipositor sheaths is examined in a number of parasitic wasps as well as a few non-parasitic taxa. Parasitic wasps in the families Aulacidae, Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Megalyridae, and Stephanidae with a very elongate, external ...

Female genitalia as a taxonomic tool in the classification of Indian Acridoidea (Orthoptera)
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2011 A comparative study on female genitalia was carried out in Indian species of the superfamily Acridoidea. An attempt has been made to describe and illustrate the different structures viz., spermatheca, ovipositor, sub genital plate, supra-anal plate and ...
