Insect Science, EarlyView.• The bees Anthophora plumipes and Osmia cornuta had a higher occurrence probability of the neogregarine protozoan Apicystis bombi in more fragmented urban areas.• In the bee Halictus scabiosae and wasp Polistes dominula, hotter urban areas increased the likelihood of occurrence of viruses.• The viruses were found to be replicative in the samples, and ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.
