Chrysomelinae species have a striking ecological specialization due to their trophic selection on plants usually belonging to the same botanical family. Calligrapha (Chevrolat) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) is a diverse genus that comprises about 80 species distributed in most of the American continent. Cytogenetic studies of Calligrapha refer to 18 species with a modal diploid chromosome number 2n = 23 = 22 + XO (male) and a meioformula n = 11 + XO (male). A population of C.

Host consumption by Mallophora ruficauda parasitoid larvae. At first, the parasitoid larva has a small relative size compared with its host. Then, after molting to the third instar, the parasitoid larva starts consuming its host and increases in size.

AbstractThe most widely used attractant to capture adult female mosquitoes is CO2. However, there are also baits available on the market that emit a scent resembling human skin. These baits were specifically designed to attract highly anthropophilic species such as Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti.

In this work, we present a novel method to decipher and interpret the neural activity patterns associated with bird songs during sleep. Our research reveals that thanks to the discovery of vocal muscles’ activity during sleep, we can effectively translate these silent replays of neural activity into synthetic songs. Key to our approach is the utilization of a dynamical systems model for song production.
