Long‐term population dynamics of an insect in a simple food web under a changing environment
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 1294-1306, June 2025.This long‐term population study illustrates the complexity of weather effects on insects and how population variability depends on the form of density dependence. Weak regulation leads to long‐term fluctuations without clear traces on short‐term variation. Responses to even drastic changes can be hard to detect without accurate knowledge of mechanisms.

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 363-380, June 2025.In insect sex determination pathways, the primary signals may vary within and between insect orders; however, the relay and terminal genes are more conserved. The upstream components of insect sex determination pathways ensure the downstream components are sex‐specifically spliced to regulate the development of male and female‐specific traits in a sex ...

LEKKING BEHAVIOR OF ANASTREPHA FRATERCULUS (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE)
Florida Entomologist, 2007 Abstract Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) displays a lek mating system. Males form groups in which they simultaneously display signals (acoustical, visual, or chemical) to attract females with the purpose of mating. Females visit the lek and choose among signaling and courting males to mate. Scarce information is available in A.

Bait sprays against the European cherry fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi: Status Quo & Perspectives [PDF]
, 2008 Bait spray experiments against Rhagoletis cerasi were carried out in 2005 to 2007. The main principle of this method is to use food (e.g. sugar and proteins) as baits for the flies with small amounts of insecticides, which is applied on parts of the ...
