Reinforced colour preference of parasitoid wasps in the presence of floral scent: a case study of a cross-modal effect by Soichi Kugimiya, Takeshi Shimoda, Junji Takabayashi

“…Furthermore, a factorial analysis of variance revealed a significant effect of the interaction between model colour and floral scent on the wasps’ visits to flower models. The floral scent induced starved and non-starved wasps to visit yellow and green models about twice as often as without the scent. …”

Life-history traits, pace of life and dispersal among and within five species of Trichogramma wasps: a comparative analysis by Guicharnaud, Chloé, Groussier, Géraldine, Beranger, Erwan, Lamy, Laurent, Vercken, Elodie, Dahirel, Maxime

“…To understand how life-history traits and effective dispersal covary, we measured these traits in controlled conditions for 28 lines from five species of Trichogramma, which are small endoparasitoid wasps frequently used as a biological model in experimental evolution but also in biocontrol against Lepidoptera pests. …”

JWST-TST DREAMS: A Precise Water Abundance for Hot Jupiter WASP-17b from the NIRISS SOSS Transmission Spectrum by Dana R. Louie, Elijah Mullens, Lili Alderson, Ana Glidden, Nikole K. Lewis, Hannah R.

Matt Mountain

“…Water has proven to be ubiquitously detected in near-infrared (NIR) transmission spectroscopy observations of hot Jupiter atmospheres, including WASP-17b. However, previous analyses of WASP-17b’s atmosphere based upon Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer data could not constrain the water abundance, finding that subsolar, supersolar, and bimodal posterior distributions were all statistically valid. …”
