DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2826
Abstract: Abstract Many insects face the challenge to select oviposition sites in heterogeneous environments where biotic and abiotic factors can change over time. One way to deal with this complexity is to use sensory experiences made… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9131
Abstract: Abstract Interacting species are experiencing disruptions in the relative timing of their key life‐history events due to climate change. These shifts can sometimes be detrimental to the fitness of the consumer in trophic interactions but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-17231-2
Abstract: In most phytophagous insects, larvae are less mobile than adults and their fitness depends on the plant chosen by their mother. To maximize fitness, adult preference and larval performance should thus be correlated. This correlation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.12830
Abstract: Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a major polyphagous pest with the potential to seriously damage various crops. A better understanding of FAW's performance on different hosts may help to predict which plants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/afe.12292
Abstract: In its native range in Asia, emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) is a secondary colonizer of its coevolved hosts, including Manchurian ash (Fraxinus mandschurica Ruprecht). However, why larval performance is enhanced on stressed… read more here.
