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 ...

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.

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)
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

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 ...

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.

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]
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.
