DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4246
Abstract: Abstract Due to its fundamental role in shaping host selection behavior, we have analyzed the chemosensory repertoire of Chrysomela lapponica. This specialized leaf beetle evolved distinct populations which shifted from the ancestral host plant, willow… read more here.

Inbreeding affects personality and fitness of a leaf beetle
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Animal Behaviour"
DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.02.002
Abstract: Habitat loss and fragmentation, which are mostly anthropogenically caused, can lead to decreasing population sizes for many species. Consequently, the risk of inbreeding increases and inbreeding depression can be induced, which is likely to lead… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-23674-9
Abstract: Oulema melanopus [L.] (cereal leaf beetle, CLB) is one of the most serious cereal pests. Plant protease inhibitors (PIs) are known for their insecticidal properties. The role of CLB-associated bacteria in insect adaptation to PIs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00049158.2018.1427415
Abstract: ABSTRACT Forest health and biosecurity programs rarely capture sufficient data to enable thorough cost-benefit analyses to be done. One notable exception has been Forestry Tasmania’s research project to develop and use an Integrated Pest Management… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvaa111
Abstract: Abstract Recent studies suggest that endosymbionts of herbivore insects can be horizontally transferred to other herbivores feeding on the same host plants, whereby the plant acts as an intermediate stage in the chain of transmission.… read more here.
