Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Desiccation is a particular risk for small animals in arid environments. In response, many organisms “construct niches,” favorable microenvironments where they spend part or all of their life cycle. Some maintain such environments for their offspring via

Current and Future Potential Distribution of the Invasive Thrips Echinothrips americanus (Terebrantia: Thripidae) Under Global Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study predicted the potential global distribution of invasive pest Echinothrips americanus using MaxEnt models, revealing its primary habitats concentrated in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa (total area ~ 3.41 × 107 km2). Under future climate scenarios, marginally suitable areas are projected to contract significantly, while ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 436-452, May 2026.
Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Effects of High-Level Acylsugar-Producing Tomato Lines on the Development of Tomato Psyllids (Hemiptera: Triozidae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Acylsugars have been shown to provide activity against numerous insect pests of tomatoes. Comparison of acylsugar levels in four tomato plant lines, FA7/AS, FA2/AS, CU071026, and 'Yellow Pear', found that the acylsugar contents in the elevated acylsugar ...

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3011-3018, April 2026.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...
