Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1123-1141, June 2026.Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 422-440, June 2026.The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 214-225, June 2026.The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

A Specific Male Olfactory Sensillum Detects Behaviorally Antagonistic Hairpencil Odorants
Journal of Insect Science, 2007 Within insect species, olfactory signals play a vital role in communication, particularly in the context of mating. During courtship, males of many moth species release pheromones that function as aphrodisiacs for conspecific females, or repellants to ...
