Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Insect Science, EarlyView.As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract DNA barcode‐based species identification has become pivotal in biodiversity research. Current barcoding‐based deep learning methods have advantages in species identification but exhibit significant limitations. By using COI barcoding alone, previous studies were unable to fully capture species identification features. Prior methods showed that

Evaluating RNAlater® as a preservative for using near-infrared spectroscopy to predict Anopheles gambiae age and species. [PDF]
Mosquito age and species identification is a crucial determinant of the efficacy of vector control programmes. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has previously been applied successfully to rapidly, non-destructively, and simultaneously determine the age ...

Elucidating R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus in Triticum aestivum genotypes
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.This study investigates R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus (WDV) among different wheat genotypes. Following inoculation with Psammotettix alienus (leafhoppers) and the subsequent appearance of characteristic symptoms such as yellowing and dwarfing, phenotypic responses were evaluated alongside molecular analyses, including quantification ...
