Abstract:
... Sawfly larvae of the family Diprionidae are defoliators of conifers, undergoing cyclical outbreaks. Here, we present a tachinid fly, identified as a Chetogena species, which was found parasitizing diprionid larvae from a recent outbreak on Jeffrey pines (Pinus jeffreyi) in Baja California's Sierra San Pedro Mártir National Park. The findings reported here are a new distributional record for Chetog ...

Its placement is ensured by an in-depth comparison with all the extant and fossil genera of the subfamily Allantinae. The representatives of Emphytus are distributed in the Palearctic, Nearctic, and Oriental regions. Empria sam ...

Abstract:
... Black plum sawfly (Hoplocampa minuta) is an important pest species of plum (Prunus domestica). In organic plum orchards, the yield loss caused by H. minuta larval damage can reach almost 100% occasionally. Adults feed on pollen and nectar of the plum flower; therefore, we hypothesize that, besides visual cues, also olfaction plays an important role in habitat and host finding. To understand the ch ...

Abstract:
... Although haplodiploidy is widespread in nature, the evolutionary consequences of this mode of reproduction are not well characterized. Here, we examine how genome‐wide hemizygosity and a lack of recombination in haploid males affects genomic differentiation in populations that diverge via natural selection while experiencing gene flow. First, we simulated diploid and haplodiploid “genomes” (500‐kb ...

Abstract:
... Known elicitors of plant defenses against eggs of herbivorous insects are low‐molecular‐weight organic compounds associated with the eggs. However, previous studies provided evidence that also proteinaceous compounds present in secretion associated with eggs of the herbivorous sawfly Diprion pini can elicit defensive responses in Pinus sylvestris. Pine responses induced by the proteinaceous secret ...

Caterpillars (Lepidoptera and Symphyta larvae) employ diverse visual defensive tactics, and effectiveness of such tactics may be highly dynamic across time due to seasonal changes in the predator assemblages and their preferences. However, this has rarely been studied especially in tropical regions. Here we assessed temporal changes in the defensive value of caterpillar color and shape, using six ...

Abstract:
... Habitat quality has direct effects on the evolutionary fitness of breeding organisms, which is why it is believed that animals tend to have an evolved preference for the best possible habitats. However, some animals may mistakenly choose to reproduce in habitats that decrease their fitness, resulting in ‘ecological traps’. In this study, we tested whether great tits (Parus major) attracted to area ...

A literature survey indicates that no publication is devoted to laboratory tests specifically using these sawflies against stinkbugs. Here, ...

One of the distinguishing biological characteristics of this pest is the prolonged diapause of about 1.5 years. In thi ...
