Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Collecting beetles on Leyte Island, Philippines

open access: yesAnnals of Tropical Research, 1994
Beetles belonging to 67 families were collected during a 3-week survey on coleoptera inhabiting forest floor, aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats, and lower stratum vegetation in the island of Leyte, Philippines. Highest number of species was found in the

Diversity of the Microbiomes in the Larval and Adult Stages of the European Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) and Identification of Potential Biocontrol Candidate Taxa

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 999-1010, September 2026.
First comprehensive characterization of the R. cerasi microbiome is reported. Stage‐specific variations in microbial composition are documented. Multiple bacterial entomopathogen taxa are identified as potential biocontrol candidates for R. cerasi.

A preliminary study of the macroinvertebrate fauna of freshwater habitats in Maludam National Park, Sarawak [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2018
Macroinvertebrates are diverse and widespread, and they play important ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems; yet little is known about the macroinvertebrate fauna of the peat swamp forests of Borneo.

Use of Invasive Rugulopteryx okamurae Beach Wrack as Habitat and Food by Talitrus saltator

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of non‐native algae into coastal waters has increased worldwide, causing a range of ecological and socio‐economic impacts. However, when stranded on beaches as wrack, these invasive algae can provide refuge and food for supralittoral organisms, potentially benefiting local fauna communities and beach functioning. In this study,

Abundance, diversity and community characterization of aquatic Coleóptera in a rice field of Northeastern Argentina

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2015
Rice fields occupy large areas in Northeastern Argentina, and in Corrientes this widespead activity has become a feature in the landscape, as it is one of the main producing provinces.

Shifts in Southeastern Bat Communities Driven by Landscape Composition Rather Than Ecological Release

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using 25 years of capture data from Fort Campbell Military Installation, we evaluated whether white‐nose syndrome (WNS)‐driven declines in susceptible bats were followed by increases in non‐susceptible species (ecological release) versus shifts driven by land use change, at the installation and site specific spatial scales.

An updated checklist and literature review of Harpellales (Kickxellomycotina) and other endobionts associated with the guts of arthropods from Argentina

open access: yesGayana: Botanica, 2022
The objective of this work is to further the knowledge of gut fungi, inhabiting the digestive tract of mandibulated arthropods, traditionally the Trichomycetes (currently Kicksellomycotina), in Argentina.

A Generalizable Tool for Predicting Developmental Phenology for Wild Ecotherms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Custom hatch timing models developed for four North American Lithobates frog species. Models are parameterized from Moore (1939). Panels (A, B) shows differential developmental rates under varying thermal regimes and G × E interactions. ABSTRACT Development in poikilothermic organisms is strongly temperature‐dependent, particularly during early life ...

Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...
