Hard Nut to Crack. Acorn Hardness Implications on Oviposition of the Acorn Weevil Curculio glandium Marsham, 1802 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Michal Reut et al.

Summary: This study investigated the preferences and behavior of Curculio glandium females associated with the pedunculate oak. The study found that these females showed a preference for acorns with natural cracks, resulting in reduced drilling time. The number of eggs laid did not significantly differ before and after the acorn hardening threshold, but after reaching the threshold, females laid significantly more eggs in artificially pierced seeds.

Feeding performance of the larval stag beetle Aegus chelifer (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) explains adult body size variation and sexual dimorphism

Nut Songvorawit et al.

Summary: The study revealed that increasing food quantity resulted in higher feeding periods, total food consumption, and adult body size in tropical stag beetle larvae. Males had higher consumption rates compared to females at the same larval weight, and differences in feeding performance based on food availability may enhance fitness and lead to sexual differences and adult body size variation.

Timing Is Everything. Temporal and Spatial Niche Segregation in Curculio spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Associated with Oak Trees

Michal Reut et al.

Summary: The study found that acorn weevils exhibit preferences when competing for resources, with different species preferring acorns of different sizes and choosing to reproduce at different stages of fruit growth. Observations indicate that this preference behavior helps to reduce competition between different species.
