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 ...

DETERMINANTS OF MULTIPLE HOST USE BY A PHYTOPHAGOUS INSECT POPULATION [PDF]
Evolution, 1983 The number of host species used by an insect population is an important component of niche breadth. The use of several species may arise from preference differences among the insects. Some may prefer one species and some another, and they may all use the plants which they prefer.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mitogenome was transcribed into complete primary polycistrons on both strands. The heteropteran mitochondrial transcription termination factor (HmTTF) functions as a bidirectional attenuator rather than a terminator, and co‐evolution of HmTTF and the binding sites was observed.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Development and survival of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on Eucalyptus genotypes
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.This study provides the first experimental evidence of the biological performance of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 on Eucalyptus genotypes. Development time was shortest and viability highest on soybean compared with the evaluated Eucalyptus genotypes. B. tabaci MEAM1 completed its development on Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus ...
