Object use in insects

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 1001-1014, August 2024.
Insects have been demonstrated to exhibit rich object‐use behaviors. The intelligence, pre‐existing manipulation behavior (e.g., ant use materials in nest building as pre‐existing behavior to cover inaccessible surfaces or drop particles behavior or food bury), and anatomical structure affect the innovation of object use.

Does the superfluous killing exhibited by spiders mask the functional response parameters? A case study from the perspective of biological control

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 4, Page 364-370, May 2024.
Abstract The meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius L. (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) is a xylem‐sap feeder and the most abundant and widespread vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Xanthomonadales: Xanthomonadaceae) throughout Europe. Control strategies for the disease are based on containment and eradication measures regulated by the European Union.

Habitat Management to Reduce Human Exposure to Trypanosoma cruzi and Western Conenose Bugs (Triatoma protracta). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chagas disease, which manifests as cardiomyopathy and severe gastrointestinal dysfunction, is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a vector-borne parasite. In California, the vector Triatoma protracta frequently colonizes woodrat (Neotoma spp.) lodges, but may ...

Illuminating arthropod diversity in a tropical forest: Assessing biodiversity by automatic light trapping and DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 2, March–April 2024.
Metabarcoding of automatic light traps in a tropical forest reveals great diversity. Comparing metabarcoding to local long‐term monitoring program reveals this to be successful at capturing known diversity of focal species. Abstract Although studies of insect decline have recently dominated headlines worldwide, their interpretation requires caution ...

Prevalence of the endoparasitoid Verrallia aucta in Central Scotland: A potential biocontrol for Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae), an important vector of Xylella fastidiosa

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 2, Page 158-170, March 2024.
Abstract Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen transmitted by xylem‐feeding insect vectors such as the meadow spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, family Aphrophoridae). Although X. fastidiosa is not currently found in the UK, methods for reducing vector populations will play an important role in controlling ...
