Genetic differentiation of Ukrainian populations of Eusomus ovulum (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): evidence of multiple hybrid speciation

Zoodiversity, 2021
The clonal structure of populations of the weevil Eusomus ovulum (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from several regions of Ukraine was analyzed. The significant interpopulation differentiation between populations from different region was demonstrated.

Attractiveness of host banana leaf materials to the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus in Ghana for development of field management strategies [PDF]

, 2018
The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, has been frequently cited as the most challenging constraint to banana and plantain production, particularly in small-scale (smallholder) farming.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the leaf-rolling-weevil, Apoderus jekelii Roelofs, 1874 (Coleoptera: Attelabidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We sequenced 15,803 bp of the leaf-rolling-weevil, Apoderus jekelii (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) that lacked ∼8000 bp of the A + T-rich region for the completion of the genomic sequence. The A.

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...
