Trade‐offs in thermal response: Schizotetranychus brevisetosus winter eggs outperform summer eggs at low temperatures

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
We investigated maternal effects in Schizotetranychus brevisetosus (Tetranychidae), where females oviposit summer and winter eggs in response to photoperiod on evergreen hosts. Developmental rates of immature individuals increased linearly from 15°C to 35°C, but winter and summer eggs developed faster at low and high temperatures, respectively ...

Parasitism of Cattle Ticks (Ixodidae) in Tiaret, Algeria

open access: yesRevue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2003
In order to better understand the problem of damages and diseases transmitted by ticks (Ixodidae) to cattle in Algeria, the author studied the seasonal features of their parasitic activity in the region of Tiaret (Algeria). From January to December, in a

Taxonomic revision and conservation concerns of the trapezitine genus Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) from Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Croitana Waterhouse, 1932 (Trapezitinae) is a small genus of skippers endemic to Australia, with most species restricted to semi‐arid and arid biomes where the larvae specialise on grasses (Poaceae) in the genera Neurachne R.Br., Enteropogon Nees and Austrostipa S.W.L. Jacobs & J.Everett.

Rotation-resistant corn rootworms in Iowa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
There are variants of both corn rootworm species in Iowa that are resistant to crop rotation. The northern corn rootworm overcame the annual rotation of corn with another crop by developing a two-year life cycle.

Why we age

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Pest categorisation of Cephalcia lariciphila

open access: yesEFSA Journal, 2017
The Panel on Plant health performed a pest categorisation of the larch web‐spinning sawfly Cephalcia lariciphila (Hymenoptera: Pamphiliidae) for the EU. The insect has been reported in 11 EU Member States (MSs).

From fertilizer to insecticide: urban leaf litter chemistry alters the survival landscape of Aedes aegypti

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.
Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 321-328, April 2026.
We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...
