recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

DOI: 10.1186/s12866-025-04327-3

Abstract: The relationship between microbiomes and their hosts has been the subject of intensive study in recent years. For black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens L., Diptera: Stratiomyidae), correlations between shifts in its microbial gut… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0292474

Abstract: The effects of turbidity and sedimentation stress on early life stages of corals are poorly understood, particularly in Atlantic species. Dredging operations, beach nourishment, and other coastal construction activities can increase sedimentation and turbidity in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13050424

Abstract: Simple Summary The bioconversion of organic waste into valuable insect protein as an alternative animal feed ingredient has the potential to improve agricultural sustainability and may become a key element of future circular economy. However,… read more here.
