Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.

Larval parasitism of the autumnal moth reduces feeding intensity on the mountain birch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plants respond to grazing by herbivorous insects by emitting a range of volatile organic compounds, which attract parasitoids to their insect hosts. However, a positive outcome for the host plant is a necessary precondition for making the attraction ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

Beneath the buzz: Quantifying nest locations and densities of ground‐nesting wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila)

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important pollinators and essential for maintaining ecosystem health. The majority of bee species are ground‐nesting, and all bees spend most of their lifetime inside the nest. Still, most studies and monitoring schemes assess wild bees during flower visitation, allowing no conclusion about their nest ...

Host-Parasitoid Associations in Strepsiptera

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2009
Strepsiptera are obligate endoparasitoids that exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism and parasitize seven orders and 33 families of Insecta. The adult males and the first instar larvae in the Mengenillidia and Stylopidia are free-living, whereas the adult females in Mengenillidia are free-living but in the suborder Stylopidia they remain endoparasitic in ...

How much additive mortality is needed to suppress an outbreak?—A neglected question in forest insect pest management

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Outbreak‐prone insects often undergo explosive population growth despite high natural mortality caused by predators, disease, host toxicity and inclement weather. Although contemporary forest pest management focuses on short‐term tree protection, there is increasing interest in developing strategies to directly suppress outbreaks.
