Biochemical and metabolic responses of cotton variety XLZ54 to Thrips tabaci and screening of resistance characterization indicators

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1656-1667, February 2026.
Cotton varieties resistant to Thrips tabaci exhibit lower soluble sugar and free amino acid levels, with smaller post‐infestation increases in these nutrients, resulting in reduced feeding rates and lighter damage. Key resistance evaluation indices include: damage severity, soluble sugars, free amino acids, soluble proteins, superoxide dismutase ...

Field‐Scale Soil Moisture Predictions in Real Time Using In Situ Sensor Measurements in an Inverse Modeling Framework: SWIM2

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Affordable autonomous soil sensors and IoT technology enable real‐time soil moisture monitoring, which offers opportunities for real‐time model calibration and irrigation optimization. We introduce an irrigation decision support system SWIM2 (Sensor Wielded Inverse Modeling of a Soil Water Irrigation Model), a digital twin that integrates ...

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 486-500, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Why Some Want Something for Nothing: Three Explanations for Unfunded Spending Demand

open access: yesScandinavian Political Studies, Volume 49, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Several studies have documented ‘something for nothing’ (SFN) attitudes among citizens: preferences for increased government spending and lower taxes. Such a demand for unfunded public spending may generate unsustainable fiscal pressures. However, it is unclear what causes SFN attitudes at the individual level.

Exploiting Paraphaeosphaeria minitans and Its Antifungal Metabolites as Bio‐Fungicides for Eco‐Friendly Management of Head Rot Disease in Cabbage

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biocontrol of Cabbage Head Rot: Paraphaeosphaeria minitans produces antifungal metabolites, disrupts sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and reduces disease incidence in cabbage under field conditions. ABSTRACT Cabbage head rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, threatens crop yield and quality.
