Host age selection behaviour of Trichogramma aurosum Sugonjaev & Sorokina (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Host age selection in several German strains of Trichogramma aurosum Sugonjaev & Sorokina was examined in laboratory choice tests under direct observation for 90 min., in order to select candidate strains for attempts at controlling the codling moth ...

Regional Variation in Insularity Effects on Acorn Herbivory in European Oaks Challenges Predictions of Lower Herbivory on Islands

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Ecological theory predicts lower herbivory on islands. However, most island‐mainland comparisons have focused on vegetative tissues, while reproductive structures remain understudied despite their direct influence on plant fitness and recruitment.

Metabarcoding Reveals the Dietary Patterns of Bats Within a Unique European Habitat, the Pasture‐Dominated Landscapes of Ireland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated the diets of two common insectivorous bat species, Plecotus auritus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus, across the pastureland‐dominated landscape of Ireland. Using metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing, we analysed 4627 faecal samples collected over three years from twelve maternity roosts during gestation, lactation, and post‐lactation ...

Parasitism of Early Instar Jack Pine Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) by Apanteles Spp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Glypta Fumiferanae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Glypta fumiferanae and two species of Apanteles parasitized 1st-4th instar jack pine bud worm (Choristoneura pinus). Apparent parasitism of budworm in four Michigan populations ranged from 10.6 to 30.9% for A. fumiferanae, 4.3-16.4% for A. morrisi, and 2.

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6768-6778, October 2025.
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.
