Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Fungi Have Substantial Effects on Growth and Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 7168-7190, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...

Insect‐resistant soybean genotypes accumulate rutin and its O‐methylated derivative narcissin, a more potent flavonol targeting Anticarsia gemmatalis digestive and detoxification enzymes and reducing larval survival

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5921-5933, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Local Resource Heterogeneity Drives Density‐Dependent Dispersal Expression in a Phoretic Mite

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Regional heterogeneity often selects for dispersal, as this allows individuals to move between environments. However, individuals do not experience regional conditions and must make developmental decisions based on local cues. Using long‐term population experiments, we find that local heterogeneity influences dispersal by exacerbating competition ...

Environment and Host Genetics Drive Infection Outcomes in a Butterfly Host, but Do Not Interact With Each Other

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined how host genetics and larval food plant environment influence parasite infection outcomes in monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) infected with the protozoan Ophryocystis elektroscirrha. We tested for genotype × environment interactions on infection status, infection burden, lifespan, and wing size.
