'nachts naar rupsen zoeken met behulp van een UV lamp is een interessante bezigheid. Zo kun je rupsen tegenkomen van de meriansborstel (Calliteara pudibunda). De rupsen hiervan zijn enorm fluoriscerend. #SectieBink #Entomologie #ElkeDagEenInsect #ElkeDagEenRups #InsectenWeetje

Every year we make the case for keeping leaves, branches, & plant stems in your yard. Bugs need them for shelter! That’s not to say you can’t tidy up: rake leaves into garden beds, around trees, or just in a pile out of the way. All we ask is that you #LeaveTheLeaves! 🍂🐝

Leave the Leaves!
One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Opvallend: de gedeeltelijke tweede generatie van de gehakkelde spanner (Ennomos erosaria) wordt steeds gewoner, blijkt uit kweekproeven én rupsenvondsten. Belangrijk onderdeel van een ecologisch profiel: gedrag in de tijd. #SectieBink #Entomologie #ElkeDagEenInsect #ElkeDagEenRups #InsectenWeetje

Parthenogenesis and Sex Determination in the Order Hymenoptera (Insecta): Patterns and Mechanisms
Arrhenotoky and haplodiploidy represent two key genetic features of the insect order Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps and sawflies), but transitions to thelytoky occur across different clades. Sex dete...

🦋🏔️ New article: How do arthropod traits shift with elevation?

Across four groups in Italy's Vinschgau Valley, orthopterans and butterflies lose trait diversity higher up, while ants gain it. 🐜

Fig. 1. The distribution of the traits body length, feeding type, wing development, and hibernation type of carabid beetles along Alpine elevation sites in Matsch/Mazia, South Tyrol (Italy). Numerical variables show mean CWM values of the variable per elevation and were tested with Kruskal Wallis rank-sum test (added in legend) followed by pairwise-Wilcoxon test. Categorical variables were also tested with Kruskal Wallis rank-sum test followed by pairwise Dunn test (significant results are shown with small letters). Credits for the icon: Eurac Research. Fig. 6. Overlap of pairs of hypervolumes indicated by the Sørensen index (0–1, where 1 is maximal similarity and 0 is no similarity). (A) The graph shows three comparisons on the X-axis of adjacent elevations, and (B) shows three comparisons along elevation starting always from the lowest elevation (1000 m) to all other elevations. (C) The photograph shows the silhouette of the actual sampled elevation sites in the LT(S)ER area "Matsch/Mazia". Please note: the lower part of the 1000 m was artificially extended due to perspectival reasons, and the locations of the sampling plots on this silhouette (yellow squares) are symbolic and do not represent their real location.

#LiteratureNotice Garner et al. Beetles, barcodes and big data: A deep dive into the phylogeny of Harpalinae (#Carabidae) doi.org/10.1111/syen... #Beetle #Beetles #groundbeetle
Analytical workflow for constructing a global Carabidae phylogeny. (1) A mitogenome-based phylogeny was inferred from newly generated and public data (mitogenomes and nuclear markers), incorporating a nuclear backbone constraint to produce a tribe-level tree of 451 tips. (2) Species delimitation was performed using 75,475 filtered COI barcodes (BOLD + GenBank) with mPTP and concatenated with genomic markers to build a supermatrix. (3) A species-level phylogeny was reconstructed under a mitogenome backbone constraint, yielding a final tree of 7196 tips.

New paper out 📣✨ We show that not only the availability of high-quality habitat is important for population persistence under climate change: variation in vegetation productivity within and between habitat patches can buffer populations during extreme years.

A Non-Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips
#OpenAccess

A Non-Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips. We propose an alternative, live-sexing protocol that represents a practical alternative to the destructive method of sex identification and offers promise for adaptation to other species of thrips.

Bruine winterjuffer in je tuin
Er zijn twee winterjuffers in Nederland, de noordse en de bruine winterjuffer. Deze heten zo omdat ze als libel overwinteren – alle andere soorten doen dat als ei of larve. De winterjuffers zoeken momenteel goede overwinteringsplaatsen en ze worden nu ook vaak in tuinen gezien, met name de bruine winterjuffer. De noordse winterjuffer is een zeldzame soort.

Samen sterk (bij gevaar tegelijk bewegen als 1 organisme) én hongerig: rupsen van de wapendrager (Phalera bucephala) leven tot hun laatste stadium in groepen. Ze eten diverse loofbomen en voelen zich ook thuis in de stad. #SectieBink #Entomologie #ElkeDagEenInsect #ElkeDagEenRups #InsectenWeetje

Prachtige reportage over een 'wespenbegeleider' die een scherm plaatste bij een Europese hoornaarsnest op de Campina.
Nadat wandelaars gevaarlijk waren gestoken is er door Natuurmonumenten voor gekozen dit nest te behouden in plaats van het nest te vernietigen.

Zou het niet fantastisch zijn als dit geïnvesteerd wordt in *wilde* bijenlandschappen? Aan het herstel van natuurlijke processen die duizenden jaren oud zijn en die de natuurlijke habitat van de bij vormgeven?

Natuurlijke vijand van suzuki-fruitvlieg aangetroffen in voedselbos
Tijdens biodiversiteitsonderzoek in voedselbos Den Food Bosch deden studenten van HAS green academy een opvallende ontdekking. Met behulp van eDNA-analyses werd de parasitaire sluipwesp Leptopilina japonica aangetroffen, een natuurlijke vijand van de invasieve suzuki-fruitvlieg. De vondst laat zien dat zich ook in jonge voedselbossen steeds complexere ecologische netwerken ontwikkelen.
