Cryptically galled infructescence: a new sheoak gall type in Allocasuarina luehmannii and Casuarina pauper (Casuarinaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Insect galls formed within the infructescences (cones) of Allocasuarina luehmannii and Casuarina pauper in southern New South Wales, Australia, are described. The galling was internal within the infested cones, which were small and irregularly developed,

Feeding Preference of Altica deserticola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae) for Leaves of Glycyrrhiza inflata and G. uralensis

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
A leaf-disc-test method was used under controlled laboratory conditions to determine the feeding preference of Altica deserticola Latreille (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on leaves of two liquorice species, Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin and G. uralensis Fisch.

Species Assembly Is Lineage Specific: Phylogenetic Divergent Species Aggregate in Some Lineages but Segregate in Others

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
Phylogenetic relatedness of co‐occurring species is often used as a proxy for inferring prior assembly processes. However, this approach ignores the possibility that different phylogenetic lineages may have evolved distinct assembly processes. Here, we directly observed assembly processes through changes in the co‐occurrence patterns of 1770 pairs of ...

Response of mirid predators to synthetic herbivore‐induced plant volatiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Zoophytophagous plant bugs feed on plant tissue as a source of water and nutrients, besides feeding on prey. By phytophagy, mirid predators activate plant defense responses through different pathways, resulting, among others, in the release of herbivore ...

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

First Bisexually Dimorphic Phytoptid Taxon (Eriophyoidea, Phytoptidae) from Gondwanian Angiosperm Host

open access: yesAnimals
Acariform mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea are permanent parasites of higher vascular plants. Seasonal morphological dimorphism in females has been documented across various eriophyoid taxa, while male dimorphism remains poorly understood.

Ultrastructural Variations of Antennae and Labia Are Associated with Feeding Habit Shifts in Stink Bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesBiology, 2021
The family Pentatomidae (stink bugs) is one of the largest groups in Heteroptera, containing many important pests and natural enemies. They exhibit highly diversified feeding habits and related structural modifications, but the key morphological ...
