Camponotus pennsylvanicus; Formica; body size; comparative study; ethanol; insects; legs; stabilizers; surface tension; swimming; temperate forests
Abstract:
... Water is a dangerous and often lethal obstacle for small terrestrial animals like insects. However, some ants survive this hazard by efficiently traversing the water surface. Swimming performance (velocity, acceleration, and efficiency) differs dramatically among ant species, yet the factors that affect performance remain unclear. Here, we investigate the relative importance of behavior and morpho ...

Abstract:
... Fire is a major disturbance in ecosystems that generally promotes secondary succession in forests. This study was conducted to track changes in a moth assemblage at a high elevation site before and after fire. A fire destroyed about 2 ha of the conifer and mixed deciduous forest and grassland of Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai, 1933 (Poales: Poaceae) on Mt. Hallasan, Jejudo Island, South Korea. I monito ...

Abstract:
... Xenorhabdus nematophila and Photorhabdus luminescens are entomopathogenic bacteria that have mutualistic relationships with their respective nematode hosts, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser (Rhabditid: Steinernematidae) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Rhabditidae: Heterorhabditidae). These symbiotic bacteria are delivered into insect hemocoel by nematodes and rapidly activate the immune sy ...

Abstract:
... Flower flies are one of the most important groups of pollinators worldwide. Unfortunately, little is known about their pollination capacity and the importance of their role for many crops grown commercially, such as cranberries. To address this information gap, 12 cranberry farms were sampled during the blooming periods of 2013 and 2014 in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate hoverfly diversity and pollen ...

5. Gender Gap in Professional Entomology: Women Are Underrepresented in Academia and the U.S. Government

Abstract:
... The majority of professional STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) scientists are still male, despite increasing levels of female graduates in those areas. Here, I show that, consistent with this pattern, females are significantly underrepresented in entomology positions in academia and the federal government. In both employment sectors, female share of positions also significan ...

Abstract:
... The epidemiologic triad (epi-triad) classically consists of agent, host, and environment. However, with vector-borne diseases (arthropod-transmitted pathogens), the vector plays a vital role, and without the vector there is no sustained pathogen transmission. By not emphasizing the importance of the arthropod vector, the role of the vector is often neglected or underappreciated. The complexities o ...

Abstract:
... The blue orchard bee, Osmia lignaria (Say) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae), is an alternative managed pollinator of rosaceous tree-crops, and potentially could be used for blueberry (Ericaceae) pollination. However, the floral preferences of this species for other types of flowers could prevent them from visiting blueberry flowers when alternative forage is available. To evaluate O. lignaria suitabili ...

Abstract:
... Pupae of numerous Papilionidae and Nymphalidae produce twitter sounds when wriggling in response to mechanical stimulation. The structural basis comprises distinct pairs of sound-producing organs (SPOs) located at intersegmental membranes of the abdomen. They differ—as the twitters do—in sampled taxa of Papilioninae, Epicaliini, and Heliconiini. The opposing sculptured cuticular sound plates (SPs) ...
