Reduced fecundity associated with Wolbachia infection in a Neotropical drosophilid Redução da fecundidade associada à infecção por Wolbachia em um drosofilídeo Neotropical

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 475-488, June 2026.
Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.
The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Host plant richness and abundance drive populations of a super‐generalist xylem‐feeding insect

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 570-579, June 2026.
Philaenus spumarius abundance was assessed across 93 sites and four habitat types (olive groves, vineyards, meadows, and field margins) within eight heterogeneous agricultural landscapes over the year. In spring, nymph abundance was positively associated with herbaceous plant species richness and vegetation cover, highlighting that even super ...

Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.
