Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Physiological Host Range of the Tachinid Istocheta aldrichi, a Potential Biological Control Agent for the Japanese Beetle in Europe

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

Floral richness drives flower–insect networks in city gardens and allotments

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Floral richness was the main driver of flower visits within green spaces whilst green space in the surrounding landscape influenced flower visits by amplifying the effects of floral richness. Native plants received more visits than non‐native plants, although flower visitor richness to non‐native plants increased later in the season as non‐native plant

Resolving Taxonomic Boundaries in the New Zealand Senecio matatini Complex (Senecioneae, Asteraceae): Evidence from Genotyping by Sequencing of Limestone‐Associated Forms

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Senecio matatini complex in New Zealand has a convoluted taxonomic and nomenclatural history that has not been fully resolved. This is largely due to the incomplete sampling of morphologically diverse but highly threatened limestone populations in the eastern South Island in previous genetic studies.
