Overwintering features of Drosophila parasitoids (Hymenoptera) in a temperate region of Japan

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Overwintering was studied in parasitoids utilizing Drosophila flies by outdoor rearing and laboratory experiments in central Japan. Asobara, Ganaspis and Trichopria had limited capacities to overwinter under the climate of the study site. A number of Leptopilina tsushimaensis and Leptolamina sp.

The effect of size on mate selection, fecundity and survival in Culex pipiens mosquitoes

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval diet affects male and female adult size, female fecundity and female survival. Large non‐blood–fed females lived longer than small non‐blood–fed females. Mate size did not influence mating rate (insemination status). Even though larger females are more fit, males mated equally to large and small females when given the option. Blood feeding has a

Chilling induces prompt and synchronised hatching after obligatory diapause in the subtropical cricket Cardiodactylus guttulus

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
It was investigated whether Cardiodactylus guttulus, a subtropical cricket, terminates obligately embryonic diapause with reference to temperature. After chilling at 16°C, the hatching rates increased, and hatching occurred synchronously when the chilling treatment lasted more than 30 days.

Transcriptomic analysis of the mandibular gland genes associated with reproductive dominance in Apis mellifera capensis Esch. parasitic workers

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Biosynthesis of the fatty acid components of the Apis mellifera mandibular gland pheromones takes place in a stepwise manner. Differential gene expression in the mandibular gland tissue of workers from two subspecies of African honey bees with differing reproductive potentials and at two age groups was investigated.
