The effect of environmental conditions on diapause in the blister beetle, Mylabris phalerata (Coleoptera: Meloidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2006
In the field, the blister beetle Mylabris phalerata Pallas (Coleoptera: Meloidae) undergoes larval diapause in the ground, which lasts for nearly six months. The effect of the soil environment on this diapause was examined.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Biology, Detection, and Management of Lecanosticta acicola: Emerging Challenges for the Management of Brown Spot Needle Blight in Pine Forests

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both natural forests and commercial plantations. Although L.

Tree defenses, host choice, and reproductive success of a native bark beetle under novel outbreak conditions

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus are some of the most important disturbance agents in North American forests, having colonized conifers for millions of years. The selection pressure posed by tree‐killing bark beetles pushed trees to develop an arsenal of defensive strategies to which beetles have adapted in their turn.

Male‐Biased Adult Mortality in the Great Bustard Is Consistent With High Reproductive Costs and Aggravated by Anthropogenic Impact

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Annual survival of great bustards (Otis tarda) was lower in males than in females, with minimum values just after the mating and incubation period, respectively, a pattern that is consistent with the reproductive cost hypothesis. Survival was lower in Madrid, a highly anthropized region (males: 0.874, females: 0.931), than in Villafáfila, where good ...

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Synergistic co-delivery of diacid metabolite of norcantharidin and ABT-737 based on folate-modified lipid bilayer-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticle against hepatic carcinoma

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2020
Diacid metabolite as the stable form of norcantharidin (DM-NCTD) derived from Chinese blister beetle (Mylabris spp.). The previous studies reported that DM-NCTD could enhance ABT-737-triggered cell viability inhibition and apoptosis in hepatocellular ...
