Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

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 ...

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 ...

Evaluating insect-host interactions as a driver of species divergence in palm flower weevils
Communications Biology, 2020 de Medeiros and Farrell test how insect-host interactions influence species divergence in phytophagous insects. Using ddRAD-seq data and hierarchical modelling, they demonstrate, surprisingly, that antagonistic interactions between insect and host do not

Ecological plasticity and genetic diversity of the mango blossom gall midge, Procontarinia Mangiferae (Felt), in Reunion Island : O306F12 Ecology [PDF]
, 2012 Phytophagous insects that belong to the Cecidomyiidae family are among the most closely associated with their host plants. Phytophagous insects can specialize not only on a unique host plant but on particular parts of plants as well.

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.

Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle, 2004 and Ophelimus maskelli Haliday, 1844 - two new records of gall forming Eulophidae from Malta (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) [PDF]
, 2012 The Eulophidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) currently accommodates more than 4,000 described species worldwide in some 300 genera (noyES, 2003). In Europe, the family is represented by about 1,100 species (GAuld & Bolton, 1988).

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.
