Temperature elevation broadens the dietary niche of an insect herbivore

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The realised dietary niche in Chrysomela lapponica was the narrowest at 10°C, whereas higher temperatures (15–25°C) broadened the dietary niche by increasing preference for and survival on suboptimal host plants. Elevated temperature broadened the realised dietary niche through both direct effects on beetles and indirect effects mediated by temperature‐

Preference‐performance relationship in the thistle tortoise beetle: Implications for its realised host range

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

The effect of caste, mass and colony identity on rescue priorities in the red imported fire ant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fire ants will rescue brood when the brood becomes trapped underground. We find that rescuers may use odor cues to locate trapped rescue targets. We demonstrate that a single reproductive larva is preferentially rescued over a single worker larva, but that caches of multiple worker larvae receive equal treatment as a single reproductive larva.

Thermal acclimation and environment drive field dispersal patterns of adult Mediterranean fruit flies

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ambient temperature significantly increased Mediterranean fruit fly recapture rates, demonstrating a strong effect of immediate environmental conditions on field dispersal. Female recaptures were 2.6‐fold higher in orchards containing host plants, whereas male recaptures were unaffected by host presence.

Moth traps shine a light on nocturnal parasitoid wasps: Snapshot assessment of UK diversity and distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biological datasets are biased towards well‐known, charismatic taxa, meaning that our understanding of biodiversity is incomplete. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are an ecologically important, yet often overlooked group of insects. We show that 5 months of sampling for parasitoid ‘bycatch’ at moth light traps operated by citizen scientists provides ...
