Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in performance of thrips on Chrysanthemum accessions
Fitness of pests on host plants can differ between populations and species. Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was collected at five locations in the Netherlands, and their genetic diversity was characterized, revealing the presence of both the glasshouse and lupin strain.

Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

ABSTRACT With around 6000 species and 200 genera worldwide, hoverflies (Syrphidae, Diptera) are important and a diverse group of pollinators, second to wild bees (Hymenoptera). Here, we studied the diversity of Syrphidae visiting flowers in low shrubland maquis environments of three compensation areas in the Ajaccio region (Corsica, France). A total of

Off‐target drift of the herbicide dicamba disrupts plant–pollinator interactions via novel pathways
Summary While herbicide use in agriculture is expected to have many effects on surrounding weed communities, it is largely unknown how plant exposure to sublethal doses of herbicide may subsequently impact plant–pollinator interactions. We tested the hypothesis that sublethal herbicide exposure indirectly alters plant–pollinator interactions through ...

Silent invaders: the hidden threat of asymptomatic phytobiomes to forest biosecurity
Summary Populations of diverse, unknown, and potentially pathogenic fungi and fungus‐like organisms are continuously introduced into new locations via asymptomatic infections (e.g. as endophytes or latent pathogens) within internationally traded live plants.

Summary The phenomena of isolation‐by‐distance and isolation‐by‐time shapecontra mating patterns and population genetic processes, such as inbreeding and outbreeding depression, which influence progeny fitness. However, the effects of parental isolation in time on offspring fitness remain understudied, especially in combination with isolation‐by ...

Abstract Premise Araliaceae comprise a moderately diverse, predominantly tropical angiosperm family with a limited fossil record. Gondwanan history of Araliaceae is hypothesized in the literature, but no fossils have previously been reported from the former supercontinent.
