Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.

Combining Policy Instruments and Local Measures to Promote Agrobiodiversity Combiner instruments de politique et mesures locales pour promouvoir l'agrobiodiversité Kombination von politischen Instrumenten und lokalen Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Agrobiodiversität

EuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary Agrobiodiversity is in decline. While the literature highlights the role of public policy in this process, a research gap remains concerning how policies can help reverse this trend by providing economic support to farms that value crop and varietal diversity. Based on desk research and expert interviews, this article first provides an overview

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.
