Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 137-146, March 2026.ABSTRACT Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key phytosanitary pest of citrus in South Africa. The pest damages fruit by burrowing and feeding on the pulp, thus causing yield losses and export rejections. There are several T. leucotreta management strategies, such as orchard sanitation, mating disruption, attract‐and‐kill,
