Discrimination between transient and persistent bacteria harbored in the digestive tract of larval Galleria mellonella

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The caterpillars of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are emerging models to study innate immunity and plastic biodegradation. Both of these processes are impacted by the associations between the insect host and its gut microbiome. Although bacterial flora harbored by the larvae have been characterized, little is known

Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata avoids transferred organic mulch—Insight from a mark‐release trial

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Organic dead mulch applied in potato was assessed for its impact on initial infestation of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata. CPB were marked and released in the field between mulched and bare soil plots, with observations taken at 12 and 72 h.

Developing of artificial fruits to assess ovipositional responses of Drosophila suzukii under laboratory conditions

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive pest of soft‐skinned fruits. Using fresh fruits to test pesticides and repellents against this pest has certain limitations. In the present study, we evaluated nine different artificial fruits prepared from various food‐based mixtures as oviposition substrates for D. suzukii.

Deterring egg predators with faecal strings is more efficient when eggs are aggregated

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Egg aggregation and faecal strings interact to reduce predation risk. Faecal strings enhance egg survival, but only at higher egg densities. Multiple antipredator traits are needed for effective egg defence. Abstract Predation can be a great source of mortality for insect eggs. Thus, female insects use multiple strategies to reduce it.
