Spiders in the mosaic: How habitat heterogeneity and structure drive local spider diversity in a Mediterranean forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 810-826, August 2026.
We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Neglected seed dispersers and research compartmentalisation: how much do we know about what we don't know?

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 967-974, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...

Assessment of genetically modified RF3 Canola Quality (CQ) Brassica juncea (application EFSA‐GMO‐NL‐2019‐158)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Genetically modified RF3 Canola Quality (CQ) Brassica juncea was developed to confer tolerance to glufosinate‐based herbicides and to restore fertility in Barnase‐expressing plants. The RF3 event was originally developed in Brassica napus and has previously been assessed by EFSA in application EFSA‐GMO‐RX‐MS8‐RF3.
