An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 168-178, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

Future semiochemical control of codling moth, Cydia pomonella

Frontiers in Horticulture
Codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella, is a significant pest of apple (Malus domestica) and other orchard crops worldwide, posing challenges due to the decrease in registered insecticides, rising resistance, and a changing climate.

Deciphering How Olive Volatiles and Fatty Acids Shape Bactrocera oleae (Rosii) Oviposition Preference Using Multivariate Regression Models

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 254-264, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)), the major pest of olives, primarily recognises visual, olfactory, acoustic, gustatory and tactile signals that regulate its behavioural activity, courtship and reproductive success, as well as the search for ideal conditions for its offspring.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 136-146, March 2026.
Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective

Generalization for both diurnal and nocturnal pollination in the mass‐flowering desert geophyte Nerine laticoma (Amaryllidaceae)

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 468-478, March 2026.
Both diurnal and nocturnal pollinators are important in the desert plant Nerine laticoma. Abstract The evolutionary limits to generalization in plant pollination systems are often determined by trade‐offs in which adaptations to one set of flower visitors reduces the effectiveness of another set of visitors.

Plant Signaling Mediates Interactions Between Fall and Southern Armyworms (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Their Shared Parasitoid Cotesia icipe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Insects
In Africa, the current harmful maize pest is Spodoptera frugiperda. Its attack can be severe and cause total economic losses. Spodoptera eridania is another species of the same genus, detected a few months after S.

Boron Nitride Nanomaterials Trigger Immunomodulatory Effects in Human Broncho‐Epithelial Cells by Modulating Eicosanoid Lipid Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
This study demonstrates that BNNT exposure disrupts lipid homeostasis in bronchial epithelial cell cultures and activates eicosanoid lipid biosynthesis, producing inflammatory lipid mediators like leukotrienes. These effects are more pronounced in asthmatic cell cultures compared to healthy ones.

White‐Tailed Deer Baiting Altered Black Bear Site Use but Not Movements or Range Size

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Black bears (Ursus americanus) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA visited sites more often and for longer durations following the application of bait targeting white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). However, black bear home ranges and movement rates were not influenced by the application of bait.

Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The interaction between cancer cells and peripheral nerves: (1) tumor cells could induce the growth of new neural axons and constructing a neural fiber network within the tumor tissue through secreting nerve growth factors; (2) nerve‐derived bioactive molecules can induce perineural invasion of tumor and regulate the malignant phenotype of tumor, such ...
