Regulation of insect behavior by non-coding RNAs
The adaptation of insects to environments relies on a sophisticated set of behaviors controlled by molecular and physiological processes. Over the...

Weather anomalies more important than climate means in driving insect phenology
Studies of long-term trends in phenology often rely on climatic averages or accumulated heat, overlooking climate variability. Here we test the...

Genetics of flight in spongy moths (Lymantria dispar ssp.): functionally integrated profiling of a complex invasive trait
BackgroundFlight can drastically enhance dispersal capacity and is a key trait defining the potential of exotic insect species to spread and invade...

Interactions between diurnal winds and floodplain mosaics control the insect boundary layer in a river corridor
Insect flight along river corridors is a fundamental process that facilitates sustainable succession and diversity of aquatic and terrestrial insect...

Neuroendocrinal and molecular basis of flight performance in locusts
Insect flight is a complex physiological process that involves sensory and neuroendocrinal control, efficient energy metabolism, rhythmic muscle...

Insect Ecology
Insect ecology is the study of how insects interact with the environment. The environment consists of both physical characteristics (abiotic) and...

Diversity and Flight Patterns of Caddisflies (Trichoptera) in an Atlantic Forest Fragment: Implications for Species Conservation in Threatened Ecosystems
Anthropogenic activities have decimated the Atlantic Forest domain (AF) and increased the pressure on freshwater biota, such as Trichoptera, which is...

Improving insect conservation management through insect monitoring and stakeholder involvement
In recent years, the decline of insect biodiversity and the imminent loss of provided ecosystem functions and services has received public attention...

Exploring nocturnal insect biodiversity and distribution across diverse habitats
Insects are pivotal components of ecosystems, contributing significantly to ecological processes, agriculture, biodiversity, and human well-being....

Sex specificity of dispersal behaviour and flight morphology varies among tree hollow beetle species
BackgroundFlight performance and dispersal behaviour can differ between sexes, resulting in sex-biased dispersal. The primary sex ratio of...

Differential Flight Capacity of Spissistilus festinus (Hemiptera: Membracidae) by Sex and Age
The three-cornered alfalfa hopper (TCAH), also known as Spissistilus festinus (Hemiptera: Membracidae), infests legumes and poses a threat to the...

Flow development and leading edge vorticity in bristled insect wings
Small flying insects such as the tiny thrip Gynaikothrips ficorum have wings with bristles attached to a solid shaft instead of solid membranes. Air...

Timing matters: remotely sensed vegetation greenness can predict insect vector migration and therefore outbreaks of curly top disease
Due to climate change, outbreaks of insect-vectored plant viruses have become increasingly unpredictable. In-depth insights into region-level...

Convergence of dominance and neglect in flying insect diversity
Most of arthropod biodiversity is unknown to science. Consequently, it has been unclear whether insect communities around the world are dominated by...

Impacts of larval host plant species on dispersal traits and free-flight energetics of adult butterflies
Animals derive resources from their diet and allocate them to organismal functions such as growth, maintenance, reproduction, and dispersal. How...

Insect diversity in heterogeneous agro-environments of Central Europe
Insect diversity has been decreasing significantly during the past decades. A main driver causing this negative trend is agricultural...

Insectivorous bats in Indian rice fields respond to moonlight, temperature, and insect activity
ContextRice, India’s most widely grown crop, suffers substantial and increasing yield loss to insect pests. Insectivorous bats are known suppressors...

Forest Insect Invasions and Their Management
As a result of increasing globalization, hundreds of forest insect species have been accidentally transported among continents. The most common...

Costs and benefits of “insect friendly” artificial lights are taxon specific
The expansion of human activity into natural habitats often results in the introduction of artificial light at night, which can disrupt local...
