Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post‐feeding larval dispersal

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 14-21, March 2025.
A servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

Laboratory rearing of Sycanus annulicornis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) on two species of prey: Differences in its biology and efficiency as a predator of the nettle caterpillar pest Setothosea asigna (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2018
Setothosea asigna van Eecke is a dominant defoliator pest in oil palm plantations. To control this pest, a generalist predatory bug, Sycanus annulicornis Dohrn, was used as it is easy to rear on several different species of prey.

A revised classification of the assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) based on combined analysis of phylogenomic and morphological data

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 102-138, January 2025.
This study produces the first combined morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis for Reduviidae and reveals synapomorphies and diagnostic traits for clades at the ranks of subfamilies and tribes. Based on our resulting robust phylogenetic reconstructions and subsequent optimization of morphological character information, we propose a ...
