How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

The entomology literature has historically suggested insects cannot feel pain, leading to their exclusion from ethical debates and animal welfare legislation. However, there may be more neural and cognitive/behavioural evidence for pain in insects than previously considered. We use Birch et al. 's (2021) eight criteria for sentience to critically e...
Modulation of nociception allows animals to optimize chances of survival by adapting their behaviour in different contexts. In mammals, this is executed by neurons from the brain and is referred to as the descending control of nociception. Whether insects have such control, or the neural circuits allowing it, has rarely been explored. Based on beha...
Modulation of nociception allows animals to prioritise their survival by adapting their behaviour in different contexts. In mammals, this is executed by neurons from the brain, and is referred to as the descending control of nociception. Whether insects have this control, or have the neural circuits underpinning it, has not been clarified. Here, we...
In certain situations, insects appear to lack a response to noxious stimuli that would cause pain in humans. For example, from the fact that male mantids continue to mate while being eaten by their partner it does not follow that insects do not feel pain; it could be the result of modulation of nociceptive inputs or behavioural outputs. When we try...
Trichogramma species are the most widely used natural enemies for biological control. The species of laboratory host used for its rearing is an important issue in the improvement of mass rearing techniques. However, it is not only the maternal host who determines the fitness of reared wasps but also the presence of flowering plants can improve effi...
Many adult parasitoids require non-host food resources, such as nectar and pollen to optimize their viability. These food resources serve as energy source and may improve biological control efficacy of parasitoids. The present study was undertaken to assess the potential effects of five different flowering plants including: buckwheat (Fagopyrum esc...
