Redheaded Pine Sawfly Neodiprion lecontei (Fitch)
Neodiprion lecontei is an important defoliator of commercially grown pine, as the preferred feeding conditions for sawfly larvae are enhanced in monocultures of shortleaf, loblolly, and slash pine, all of which are commonly cultivated in the southern ...

Sawfly larval poisoning in cattle: Report on new outbreaks and brief review of the literature [PDF]
Sawfly larval poisoning (SLP) is an acute hepatotoxicosis documented in livestock in Australia, Denmark and in countries of South America. It is caused by the ingestion of the larval stage of insects of the suborder Symphyta, order Hymenoptera, commonly ...

Evolutionary Patterns of the Genes Involved in the Integrity and Segregation of Chromosomes in Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta). [PDF]
This study identifies and characterizes the genes encoding cohesin and condensin complexes across Symphytan superfamilies, revealing their structural and functional roles with conserved motifs in maintaining genome stability. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that SMC genes originated from ancient duplication events, with notable gene loss (e.g., CAPG2 ...

Fighting for Chemicals: Pharmacophagy-Induced Contest Behaviour and Its Molecular Signatures in a Sawfly. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Elucidating the multifaceted effects of plant metabolites sequestered by animals from plants for non‐nutritional purposes, known as pharmacophagy, is fundamental to understanding the evolution of acquired chemical defences. Some herbivorous species do not only take up plant metabolites from plants but also engage in antagonistic interactions ...

Group Size Dependent Selection for Cooperation Versus Freeloading in Collective Chemical Defence. [PDF]
Theory predicts that cooperation in public goods should be favoured in smaller groups because individuals gain a larger share of the benefits, but empirical evidence remains scarce outside microbial systems. Using collectively defending larvae of the pine sawfly Neodiprion sertifer, we show that survival benefits of cooperation are stronger in small ...

Ecological Drivers of Microbiota Diversity in the Pharmacophagous Turnip Sawfly. [PDF]
We show that both nutritional (host‐plant diet, starvation) and non‐nutritional (pharmacophagy) plant use independently shape microbiota diversity, composition and predicted function in Athalia rosae. Pharmacophagy via clerodanoid uptake altered microbial communities and enriched metabolic pathways linked to plant compound degradation. Wild individuals

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Athalia rosae (the Turnip Sawfly; Arhropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Athaliidae). The genome sequence is 172 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into eight chromosomal pseudomolecules.

Pine Sawflies, Neodiprion spp. (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Diprionidae)
Pine sawfly larvae, Neodiprion spp., are the most common defoliating insects of pine trees, Pinus spp., in Florida. Sawfly infestations can cause growth loss and mortality, especially when followed by secondary attack by bark and wood-boring beetles ...

Fine Structure of the Visual System of Arge similis (Hymenoptera, Argidae)
External morphology and ultrastructure of the visual system of Arge similis (Vollenhoven, 1860) adults were investigated by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Each compound eye contains 2022 ± 89 (mean ±
