Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1102-1114, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Syndromic Convergence in Aquaculture Disease Management: A Critical Review of Climate‐Pathobiome Interactions, Diagnostic Frameworks, and Knowledge Gaps

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Syndromic convergence (SyCo) reframes aquaculture disease as the synergistic product of climate‐driven stressors, pathobiome communities, and host immune compromise, not single pathogens. A five‐criterion scoring matrix, composite early warning index, and three‐layer intervention framework together operationalize this shift toward predictive ...

Characterization of Grape Cane Stilbenoids and Their Photo‐Degradation Products by HPLC‐DAD Coupled With Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry and High‐Resolution Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Bioactive (E)‐stilbenoids in vine extracts are prone to light‐induced transformation into the respective (Z)‐isomers and further degradation products, often resulting in a loss of bioactivity. We sought to study stilbenoid degradation beyond that of the well‐researched resveratrol due to the high diversity of stilbenoids in nature ...

Gender Differences in Knowledge, Perceptions, and Practices Related to Pesticide Use Among Vegetable Farmers in the Hills of Nepal: A Mixed‐Methods Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Overuse and misuse of chemical pesticides remain a major threat to public health in agricultural communities of the least developed and low‐income countries. Gender‐based differences in agricultural settings, access to agricultural information, and decision‐making play a crucial role in influencing farmers' knowledge ...

Climate Change and African Agricultural Resilience: A 10‐Year Comprehensive Review of Adaptive Capacity, Policy, and Environmental Stewardship

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In the current era, climate change has emerged as a fundamental threat to African agriculture, driven by increasingly erratic climatic patterns such as prolonged rainfall, decadal droughts, and escalating thermal stress. This review evaluates contemporary agricultural productivity by gathering and analyzing empirical data from academic ...

How does leaf age affect performance? A comparative study of essential oils from young and mature Eucalyptus globulus leaves in crop protection

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7510-7525, August 2026.
Leaf age influences metabolomic profiling but not bioactivity of Eucalyptus globulus essential oils. Leaf age affects volatile levels of young and adult E. globulus oils, but not their bioactivity. Young leaf essential oil had higher contents of α‐ and β‐pinene. AEEO had higher levels of 1,8‐cineole and trans‐pinocarveol.
