Contribution of awns and hairy glumes in spring wheat to resistance against wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 781-793, July 2025.
Wheat morphological traits had no consistent impact on Sitodiplosis mosellana oviposition. Differences in the number of eggs among doubled haploid wheat lines were not associated with the presence (A+) or absence (A−) of awns, or the presence (H+) or absence (H−) of hairs in controlled laboratory experiments and field trials.

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Prey Capture Outside of the Web? Observational Evidence of a Novel Form of Prey Capture in a Cave Orb Web Spider

open access: yesEthology, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2025.
It is currently not known how the European cave orb spider Meta menardi (d) catches the non‐flying prey, which makes up approximately half of its diet. Our observations in winter and summer from caves in the United Kingdom offer support to the radius tripwire hypothesis (a) over the off‐web hunting hypothesis (b) and the prey slip hypothesis (c ...

Microbial Evolution in Allodapine Bees: Perspectives From Trophallactic, Socially Plastic Pollinators

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...
