The Tri-trophic Niche Concept and Adaptive Radiation of Phytophagous Insects
, 2005 A conceptual divide exists between ecological and evolutionary approaches to understanding adaptive radiation, although the phenomenon is inherently both ecological and evolutionary.

Folia Oecologica, 2019 Adult moths from an ecological group of winter geometrid species look for trees where they copulate and females lay eggs. We investigated how tree trunk and lower branch thickness affects the occurrence of females on trunks and branches and how the ...

Phytoplasma Infection of Cranberries Benefits Non-vector Phytophagous Insects
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Despite increasing knowledge about the impacts of pathogens on the interactions between plants and insect vectors, relatively little is known about their effects on other, non-vector, organisms.

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

Conserved DvEffectors with phytophagous insects.
, 2019 A summary of the BlastP search results of the DvEffectors against salivary gland proteins of phytophagous insects with different feeding behaviour: Plant hoppers–vascular feeders (green): Nephotettix cincticeps [11], Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella ...

Anatomy and Histology of the Midgut of Atopozelus opsimus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Atopozelus opsimus Elkins, 1954 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) preys on forest and agricultural pests but also feeds on extrafloral nectar; however, its alimentary canal is poorly understood. The aim was to describe the anatomy and histology of the A. opsimus midgut. The alimentary canal of female and male A.

A New Experimental Setup to Study the Olfactory Behaviour of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We developed an experimental setup to assess odor‐induced egg‐laying behavior in tiny egg‐parasitoid wasps. This Y‐shaped olfactometer, coupled with an AI‐based image‐recognition model, automatically quantifies egg parasitism by Trichogramma wasps. Olfactory‐driven egg‐laying preferences were analyzed using Bayesian inference.

Response of Mediterranean Phytophagous Forest Insects to Climate Change (Abstract) [PDF]
, 2018 Mediterranean forest ecosystems have specific characteristics which, like other ecosystems, will very probably evolve during the 21st century under the influence of climate change.

Forests and climate change - lessons from insects
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2008 The climate change may indirectly affects the forest ecosystems through the activity of phytophagous insects. The climate change has been claimed to be responsible of the range expansion northward and upward of several insect species of northern ...

A General Model for Host Plant Selection in Phytophagous Insects
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2002 We develop a general theoretical framework for exploring the host plant selection behaviour of herbivorous insects. This model can be used to address a number of questions, including the evolution of specialists, generalists, preference hierarchies, and learning.
