BACKGROUND Neonicotinoid seed treatments suppress populations of pest insects efficiently and can enhance crop growth, but they may have negative effects on beneficial arthropods. We evaluated the effects of either imidacloprid or thiamethoxam on th...

Entometabolomics: applications of modern analytical techniques to insect studies (2015)
Journal Article
Snart, C. J., Hardy, I. C., & Barrett, D. A. (2015). Entometabolomics: applications of modern analytical techniques to insect studies. Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 155(1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1111/eea.12281

Metabolomic analyses can reveal associations between an organism's metabolome and further aspects of its phenotypic state, an attractive prospect for many life-sciences researchers. The metabolomic approach has been employed in some, but not many, in... Read More about Entometabolomics: applications of modern analytical techniques to insect studies.

Multi-trait mimicry of ants by a parasitoid wasp (2015)
Journal Article
Malcicka, M., Bezemer, T. M., Visser, B., Bloemberg, M., Snart, C. J., Hardy, I. C., & Harvey, J. A. (in press). Multi-trait mimicry of ants by a parasitoid wasp. Scientific Reports, 5, Article 8043. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep08043

Many animals avoid attack from predators through toxicity or the emission of repellent chemicals. Defensive mimicry has evolved in many species to deceive shared predators, for instance through colouration and other morphological adaptations, but mim...
