Effects of nocturnal celestial illumination on high-flying migrant insects
(The Royal Society, 6 May 2024)Radar networks hold great promise for monitoring population trends of migrating insects. However, it is important to elucidate the nature of responses to environmental cues. We use data from a mini-network of vertical-looking ... -
Novel pheromone-mediated reproductive behaviour in the stag beetle, Lucanus cervus
(Nature Research, 12 March 2024)The iconic European stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) is one of the largest terrestrial beetles in Europe. Due to decreasing population numbers, thought to be a consequence of habitat loss, this beetle ... -
Massive seasonal high-altitude migrations of nocturnal insects above the agricultural plains of East China
(National Academy of Sciences, 22 April 2024)Long-distance migrations of insects contribute to ecosystem functioning but also have important economic impacts when the migrants are pests or provide ecosystem services. We combined radar monitoring, aerial sampling, and ... -
A role for DNA methylation in bumblebee morphogenesis hints at female-specific developmental erasure
(Wiley / Royal Entomological Society, 13 February 2024)Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, are crucial factors in animal development. In some mammals, almost all DNA methylation is erased during embryo development and re-established in a sex- and cell-specific ... -
