Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Diversity of the Microbiomes in the Larval and Adult Stages of the European Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) and Identification of Potential Biocontrol Candidate Taxa

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
First comprehensive characterization of the R. cerasi microbiome is reported. Stage‐specific variations in microbial composition are documented. Multiple bacterial entomopathogen taxa are identified as potential biocontrol candidates for R. cerasi.

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

open access: yesGrassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Connectivity between breeding sites, wintering areas, and migration routes in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in the Western Palaearctic

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists. These shifts are observed at lower environmental change rates than previously considered, with significant changes apparent after just 25% habitat loss.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Co‐Creation of Educational Resources for Culturally Diverse Dietary Advice

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dietary analysis and advice are key components in the prevention of dental caries. Previous research undertaken at Newcastle University highlighted a lack of cultural competence in dietary advice delivery amongst undergraduate dental and hygiene and therapy students.
