Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Life history correlates of adult size in the malaria vector Anopheles darlingi
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1995 Adult dry weights of laboratory-reared Anopheles darlingi were highly correlated with wing lengths, which were used to estimate size variation in natural populations of this species.

, 2013 Dimorphism in wing length is well known in many insect species. It is generally believed that a trade-off between dis- persal and reproduction exists, with the long-winged (LW) morph being a better disperser due to its superior flight capability.

bioRxiv, 2017 In contrast to the important role of hormones in the development of sexual dimorphic traits in vertebrates [1], the differentiation of these traits in insects is attributed exclusively to variation in cell-autonomous mechanisms controlled by members of ...

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

Ethology, EarlyView.In Acanthagrion lancea damselflies, both sexes display blue ornamentation, but do they choose mates based on it? We tested whether mutual mate choice and time constraints influence ornament evolution. Blue coloration correlated with individual quality, but individuals did not choose mates based on color, and this was unaffected by time constraints over

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 Macropterous individuals of wing polymorphic semiaquatic bugs (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) usually occur at a high frequency if there is a need to leave an unfavorable habitat or in a generation migrating to/from an overwintering site.

, 2017 Sexual shape dimorphism is the differentiation of male and female organisms based on their shape variation; this definition was proposed for the use of geometric morphometrics analysis where the geometric features of the shape are analyzed without the ...
