Protected area coverage of the full annual cycle of migratory butterflies

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective conservation of migratory species relies on habitat protection throughout their annual cycle. Although protected areas (PAs) play a central role in conservation, their effectiveness at conserving habitats across the annual cycle of migratory species has rarely been assessed.

Opportunities, research gaps, and risks in allogenic ecosystem engineer mimicry

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In an age of anthropogenically driven species loss and increasingly novel ecosystems, ecosystem engineer restoration is a process‐based approach to supporting ecosystem function. Many ecosystem engineers have low or declining population sizes.

Selection for increased sexual bimaturism in the common housefly, Musca domestica

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Females and males may have different economic value in insect production. We selected houseflies, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), for six generations for increased sexual bimaturism by breeding early‐emerging males with late‐emerging females.

The Classification of the Pupae of the Ceratocampidæ and Hemileucidæ

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1914
The pupae belonging to the superfamily Saturnioidea may be identified by the following characteristics: Fifth and sixth abdominal segments free in both sexes; body surface hard and firm, always with setae, but these rarely long enough to be observed with the unaided eye; face-parts never with distinct sutures; antennal suture obsolete; labial palpi or ...

Correlated response to selection for increased body weight on fecundity in Hermetia illucens

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Selection for economically interesting traits like body weight can play a crucial role in lowering production costs in black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae). However, how selection for higher larval body weight impacts fecundity, another economically important trait, is not known.

Wolbachia causes cytoplasmic incompatibility but not male‐killing in a grain pest beetle

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6570-6587, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The endosymbiotic Wolbachia is one of the most common intracellular bacteria known in arthropods and nematodes. Its ability for reproductive manipulation can cause unequal inheritance to male and female offspring, allowing the manipulator to spread, but potentially also impact the evolutionary dynamics of infected hosts.

Variation in strain performance and estimates of heritability of body size indicate considerable potential for genetic improvement of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study investigates genetic variation and heritability in the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), a key species for sustainable protein production. Using a standardised split‐brood design, we exposed three domesticated strains of Hermetia illucens to three dietary substrates and demonstrated strong genotype‐by‐environment interactions. Moreover,

Developmental transcriptomes predict adult social behaviours in the socially flexible sweat bee, Lasioglossum baleicum

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Natural variation can provide important insights into the genetic and environmental factors that shape social behaviour and its evolution. The sweat bee, Lasioglossum baleicum, is a socially flexible bee capable of producing both solitary and eusocial nests.

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.
