Multimodal floral cues resembling both generalized food sources and oviposition sites in Isotrema manshuriense (Aristolochiaceae) pollinated by flies

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1058-1070, October 2025.
The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.

Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant–pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1047-1057, October 2025.
Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

Seed Production and Pollinator Dependence in Native Wildflowers: Guiding Species Selection for Conservation Plantings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated the pollination biology of eight native wildflower species in the southeastern U.S. to assess their dependence on insect pollinators and potential for self‐pollination. Most species showed significantly higher seed production and weight when open‐pollinated, indicating strong pollinator dependence, though some could reproduce without ...

Isolating the effects of floral temperature on visitation and behaviour of wild bee and fly pollinators

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2496-2508, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flower temperature impacts pollinator choice in laboratory settings and the foraging behaviour of bees in natural populations. However, the direct effects of floral temperature on animal pollination in field conditions are difficult to isolate from other pollinator ...

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Malaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

First report of mitogenome of Subclytia rotundiventris (Diptera, Tachinidae) yielded by next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The mitochondrial genome of Subclytia rotundiventris (Fallén, 1820) belongs to the subfamily Phasiinae of Tachinidae, was obtained using a next-generation sequencing approach. This 15,574 bp mitogenome consists of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding

Seasonal occurrence of brown marmorated stink bug and its impact in organic and conventional kiwifruit orchards in north‐western China

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4548-4557, August 2025.
Higher populations of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) and increased kiwifruit damage were recorded in organic orchards, BMSB population exhibiting a consistent pattern of two generations annually over 3 years. Feeding damage peaked at 59% and 60% in October 2019 and 2021, respectively, with no significant differences in overall damage rates between ...
