Different roles of host and habitat in determining the microbial communities of plant-feeding true bugs

Microbiome, 2023
Background The true bugs (Heteroptera) occupy nearly all of the known ecological niches of insects. Among them, as a group containing more than 30,000 species, the phytophagous true bugs are making increasing impacts on agricultural and forestry ...

Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Piper species (Piperaceae) in state of Pará, Brazil

Entomological Communications, 2023
We report the occurrence of scale insect Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret, 1869) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in two Piper species (Piperaceae). Hemiberlesia lataniae specimens were collected from leaves and stems of Piper cernuum Vell. and Piper reticulatum

A gustatory receptor tuned to the steroid plant hormone brassinolide in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

eLife, 2020
Feeding and oviposition deterrents help phytophagous insects to identify host plants. The taste organs of phytophagous insects contain bitter gustatory receptors (GRs). To explore their function, the GRs in Plutella xylostella were analyzed.

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Do good neighbours compensate for bad climate? The case of sessile oak Quercus petraea in phylogenetically distant neighbourhoods

Oikos, EarlyView.
Stressful climates threaten the performance of individuals and the survival of species, but individual performance also depends on biotic interactions with neighbours, so that ‘good' neighbours might in theory compensate for ‘bad' climates. However, what makes a good neighbour, and why, has been little studied.

A response to Pennisi - “How do gut microbiomes help herbivores”, a hint into next-generation biocontrol solutions [PDF]

Rethinking Ecology, 2017
In a world where invasive invertebrate species can significantly compromise food security and where a dwindling range of synthetic pesticides remains our principal line of defence, testing a new invasion ecology hypothesis and understanding what makes a ...
