Insect Science, EarlyView.Jewel beetles can discriminate leaf feeding sites and bark oviposition sites based upon the opponent comparison of their blue, green, and red photoreceptor signals. Through this mechanism, green traps resemble leaves, and purple traps resemble bark, explaining their different attractiveness to males and females.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Traslucent pheromone traps increase trapping efficiency of ambrosia beetle Megaplatypus mutatus
Crop Protection, 2011 Abstract Megaplatypus mutatus (= Platypus mutatus ) is an ambrosia beetle native to South America. Unlike most ambrosia beetles, it attacks only living trees, penetrating the xylem of its host by boring long tunnels. These galleries cause severe stem-breakage and mortality in commercial poplar plantations.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...
