Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The amaranth flea beetle, Disonycha glabrata (F.), is a major pest of amaranth crops (Amaranthus spp.) in the United States. Despite its economic impact, its natural enemy complex remains poorly documented. In this study, we report the first record of larval parasitism in D. glabrata by the tachinid fly Myiopharus ancilla (Walker).

, 2016 The evolution of herbivory within an insect lineage is often enabled by novel morphological innovations. The ancestor of Scaptomyza flava developed a serrated ovipositor nearly six million years ago, associated with an evolutionary transition to ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Early life‐history traits of seahorses are closely linked to juvenile survival, dispersal potential and the onset of substrate attachment; however, detailed stage‐resolved descriptions remain limited for many Hippocampus species. This study examined reproductive behaviour and early ontogenetic development of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus ...

Data from: Mechanisms of ovipositor insertion and steering of a parasitic wasp
, 2017 Drilling into solid substrates with slender beam-like structures is a mechanical challenge, but is regularly done by female parasitic wasps. The wasp inserts her ovipositor into solid substrates to deposit eggs in hosts, and even seems capable of ...

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.

Fine structure of the external sheaths of the ovipositor of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2018 The function and structure of the ovipositor in Hymenoptera have been studied intensively, although there is a lack of information on the external sheaths.

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

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
