Understanding the Distribution of Muscidae Flies and Their Role as Vectors of Bacterial Pathogens in South Africa: A Review Using BOLD Barcoding Data

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of Muscidae flies as vectors of bacterial pathogens with veterinary and public health significance necessitates accurate species identification and distribution mapping. This review analysed records from the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) national Diptera checklist ...

Farm‐scale Natural Capital Accounting: Unlocking the potential of natural capital to support sustainable agriculture

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1434-1461, May 2026.
Abstract The demand for information about property‐scale natural capital is growing rapidly as producers and supply chains respond to opportunities and pressures to report environmental performance information. Natural Capital Accounting offers promise but agreed methods for farm‐scale accounts are currently lacking.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Preliminary Functional Group Patterns of Arthropods in a Maize Field and Adjacent Cultivated Refuge Strip in South Africa

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.

How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice?

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Over 20 years ago, ecologists were introduced to the site occupancy model (SOM) for estimating occupancy rates from detection‐nondetection data. In the ensuing decades, the SOM and its hierarchical modeling extensions have become mainstays of quantitative ecology, and estimating occupancy rates has become one of the most common applications of ...

Beneficial rhizobacteria and virus infection modulate the soybean metabolome and influence the feeding preferences of the virus vector Epilachna varivestis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2599-2618, May 2026.
Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...
