Host tree identity and latitude shaped wood‐boring beetle assemblages, with species richness declining northward but community composition varying among regions and hosts. Host tree species influenced beetle communities more strongly than climate; black spruce supported the most species, while eastern hemlock hosted very few.

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

ABSTRACT Paysandisia archon is a South American castniid moth unintentionally introduced in Europe through the international plant trade and first reported there in the early 2000s. Its larvae cause severe damage to palms (Arecaceae) by feeding on the apical meristem and excavating inside the trunk, leading to structural instability and eventual plant ...

Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.
