Inducible tomato defences persist in detached leaves, despite differential plant variety and gene‐dependent expression

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Short‐ and long‐term expression of PPO‐D, PI‐IIc and PR‐1a were assessed in intact plants and detached tomato leaves of two varieties infested with Tetranhycus urticae. Tomato defences were induced in both intact and detached leaves, but the induction levels varied with plant variety and gene assessed.

Occurrence of Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Central Brazil: first report on Bauhinia x blakeana (Fabaceae) and in Goiás State

Entomological Communications
The armored scale insect Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is reported for the first time in Central Brazil infesting Bauhinia x blakeana (Fabaceae) trees.

First record of Erthesina fullo (Thunberg, 1783) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Italy

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The yellow‐spotted stink bug, Erthesina fullo (Thunberg) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a highly polyphagous stink bug native to Asia with a well‐documented history of human‐mediated dispersal. In recent years, its invasive range has started to expand into Europe.

Water stress and harmful insects in agri-forest ecosystems

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2010
Present knowledge on ecological services supplied by insects to natural terrestrial ecosystems, allow us to identify many homeostatic mechanisms regulating biological balance as well as life perpetuation of the said ecosystems; at the same time, that ...

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Genomic signatures of host-associated differentation in phytophagous insects

, 2016
Although there have been many studies investigating host-associated genomic differentiation in phytophagous insects feeding on different host plants, this review serves to compile the current state of knowledge of the conditions for host-associated ...

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.
