Wasps Beyond Bees: Crop Species of Spondias (Anacardiaceae) Vary in Floral Scent and Attract Different Pollinator Taxa

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spondias species are increasingly valued for their fruit production, which relies heavily on insect pollination. The flowers of these species are generalised, attracting a diverse array of insect visitors, including bees, beetles, flies, wasps and butterflies.

Bait Sprays Combined With Insecticides Targeted at Drosophila suzukii Have Negligible Impacts on Non‐Target Insects Compared to Full Foliar Spray Applications

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current control of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii relies primarily on insecticides, including the incorporation of phagostimulant baits. The impact of insecticidal bait sprays on beneficial insects in crops is largely unknown. In a laboratory and field trial, we exposed non‐target insects to insecticides with or without bait and compared

The locomotor ecology of wild western lowland gorillas: How does the largest ape exploit complex arboreal environments?

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
When travelling and feeding in the canopy, the western lowland gorillas engaged in bipedal locomotion likely as a strategy to mitigate the risk of falling at the cost of increased energy expenditure. Abstract Western lowland gorillas are the largest and most sexually dimorphic ape that habitually exploits arboreal environments.

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...
