A comparison of two widely used methods for estimating taxonomic and functional diversities of epigeal arthropods in some temperate grasslands

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 11, Page 867-877, November 2023., 2023
Characterizing and surveying arthropod diversity is a challenge, and often calls for the use of various methods. We compared the efficiency of two methods for assessing taxonomic and functional diversities. Suction sampling was more efficient than pitfall trapping in collecting phytophagous arthropods, web‐builders, and small species in the vegetation ...

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

open access: yesEvolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Cotton Stainer, Dysdercus suturellus (Herrich Schaeffer) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae)

open access: yesEDIS, 2005
Four species of "cotton stainers," also known as "red bugs," are known from Florida. However, the most important of these is the cotton stainer, Dysdercus suturellus (Herrich- Schaeffer). Morrill (1910) stated the cotton stainer was the most destructive

Insects and their Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota, Fungi) of Lake Eustis and Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area: A case study on urbanization and diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16618-16633, December 2021., 2021
Two lakes in central Florida were surveyed for insects and the associated fungal parasites, Laboulbeniales. One of the lakes had been the site of intensive restoration efforts while the other lake is highly developed and un‐restored. This study found stark differences in fungal diversity between the sites, and explores the possibility of the use of ...

Do long- and short-winged adult females of the bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae) differ in lifespan and reproductive capacity?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
In the present study we tested whether long-winged (macropterous) and short-winged (brachypterous) adult females of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) differ in their reproductive capacity and length of life.

Convergent photoperiodic plasticity in developmental rate in two species of insects with widely different thermal phenotypes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2018
Growth and development rates in many insects are affected by photoperiod, which enables insects to synchronize their life histories with seasonal events, but this aspect of insect photoperiodism remains understudied.

Arthropods Associated With Purple Loosestrife in Illinois Wetlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We estimated and described the arthropod fauna on purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) plants in northeastern Illinois wetlands. A total of 1063 individual arthropods were collected—930 insects and 133 arachnids.
