Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.The study analyzed the gut microbial diversity and composition of H. cichorii with different dietary habits and genders. The results showed that an elevated richness in food composition corresponds to a higher diversity of gut microbial species in the host. It suggests that food plays a significant role in the composition of the gut microbial community,

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 9, Page 1094-1104, November 2024.Abstract The codling moth Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is one of the most important pests in apple production. The provision of sugar resources improved adult fitness of this species in laboratory studies and could also be enhanced in the field, for example, by naturally occurring carbohydrate sources in the orchard environment.
