Ozone‐driven degradation of sex pheromone in Plutella xylostella: Implications for reproductive communication and mating success

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Behavioral, Ecological, and Morphological Data Suggest a Close Relationship Between the Ant Colobopsis truncata and the Gall Wasp Aphelonyx cerricola

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...
