DOI: 10.1007/s10886-020-01167-5
Abstract: We explored how gut-associated yeasts influence olfactory behaviour and resource use in two pest species of Carpophilus beetle that co-exist in Australian stone fruits. Molecular analysis of yeasts isolated from the gut of C. davidsoni… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13744-021-00892-0
Abstract: Leaf cuticular wax plays important role in host selection, oviposition, and feeding of phytophagous insects. Thus, the role of cuticular wax of sesame (Sesamum indicum) cultivars (Savitri and Nirmala) in host selection of 3 generalist… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c03244
Abstract: Sitodiplosis mosellana is a major wheat pest that oviposits on spikes, and resistant wheat varieties have been released. However, wheat spike volatiles mediating S. mosellana host selection or resistance are largely unknown. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09583157.2019.1709620
Abstract: ABSTRACT An understanding of host selection by parasitoids can help in evaluating alternative host candidates to make conservation biological control of a target pest more reliable. This study investigated the host selection behaviour of Dolichogenidae… read more here.

Great spotted cuckoos show dynamic patterns of host selection during the breeding season. The importance of laying stage and parasitism status of magpie nests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Behavioral Ecology"
DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arz208
Abstract: Avian brood parasites depend entirely on their hosts to raise their nestlings until independence. Thus, parasite females should select suitable host nests for egg laying according to traits that enhance offspring survival. The availability of… read more here.

Host selection and forage ratio in West Nile virus–transmitting Culex mosquitoes: Challenges and knowledge gaps
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010819
Abstract: Background To date, no specific therapy or vaccination is available for West Nile virus (WNV) infections in humans; preventive strategies represent the only possibility to control transmission. To focus these strategies, detailed knowledge of the… read more here.
