Annual flower strips under the ‘Sweden Blossom’ initiative – how do they perform for pollinators, natural enemies and herbivores?

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 458-470, August 2026.
Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.

The wild honeybee population of Europe is in decline: Evidence from monitoring studies

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Studying the population trends of wild honeybees is possible when considering that managed and wild colonies form different subpopulations within regional honeybee metapopualtions. Abstract Populations of wild western honeybees (Apis mellifera) have been neglected because the species has been considered to consist of managed colonies only.

Laboratory Biology, Immature and Adult Morphology of Trichopria drosophilae (Perkins) (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae), Parasitoids of Drosophila Flies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 863-875, August 2026.
This study investigates the laboratory biology and morphology of the parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae, which targets Drosophila flies, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. Key findings include a detailed description of the parasitoid's egg, three larval instars, and pupal stage, as well as unique behaviors such as siblicide and encapsulation in ...

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Semi‐Natural Habitats Buffer the Effects of Crop Diversification on Arthropod Pest Control Services in Agricultural Landscapes

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
Crop diversification is often promoted to enhance biological pest control in agricultural landscapes, but its effects remain context‐dependent. Using data from 742 landscapes across 13 countries, we found that crop diversification did not increase overall natural enemy abundance or biological control potential, but mainly increased both specialist ...

Multi‐Model Ensembles in Ecosystem Modeling: Challenges and Best Practices for Decision‐Making

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
As ecosystem models increasingly inform environmental policy, markets, and climate‐related investments, this article highlights a critical but often overlooked issue: combining multiple models does not automatically make predictions more reliable.

Three Decades of Soil N2O Research—Insights and Gaps

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Progress in N2O Research and Key Breakthroughs and Transitions from 1990 to 2025 across three domains: (A) process understanding, (B) microbial ecology, and (C) modelling of soil N2O emissions. ABSTRACT Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) whose atmospheric concentration continues to rise, largely driven by nitrogen (N) inputs to ...

Ensembling Crop Models and Multi Criteria Analysis to Unlock Bioenergy From Marginal Lands: A Scenario‐Based Assessment From Italy

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Multi‐Criteria Analysis to identify marginal land on which three crops (Safflower, castor bean, and Ethiopian mustard) were simulated with two process‐based models (DSSAT, ARMOSA) under two different agronomical management minimums (rainfed and no fertilization) and low input (half‐water and half‐nitrogen).

Long‐term surveillance reveals hybridization by nuclear reassortment and intercontinental spread as major evolutionary drivers in wheat yellow rust

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2091-2106, August 2026.
Documented incursions of Puccinia striiformis 2009–2023 based on sequential resampling of MLGs/pathogen races on different continents. Summary Evolutionary forces affecting crop pathogens, including hybridization and long‐distance dispersal (LDD), may have strong implications for food security and sustainable plant disease control at global scales ...

Shocks and Vulnerability in Rural Tanzania

Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 1916-1939, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relative importance of idiosyncratic and covariate shocks in shaping household vulnerability to poverty in rural Tanzania. Using five rounds of the Tanzanian National Panel Survey and a three‐level multilevel modeling framework, we account for the hierarchical structure of the data and decompose consumption variance ...
