Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3955-3963, April 2026.Euphorbia segetalis is a promising attractant insectary plant for Aphelinus mali. Meanwhile, Vicia faba and Vicia sativa are a promising nectar resource to sustain the parasitoid in early spring when the population of Eriosoma lanigerum is low, and honeydew is scarce.

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.A regional assessment of the indigenous vascular plants of Niue is presented using the IUCN Red List criteria. The assessment was undertaken during a community workshop that drew on the indigenous local knowledge and scientific information. The assessment comprised 197 named taxa and 8 indeterminate entities, with 4 (2.0%) taxa assessed as Extinct and ...

Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos
Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 109-123, March/April 2026.The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium

Biodiversity and soil type modulate the effect of plastic contamination on soil functioning
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Our findings show that the negative effects of plastic contamination on soil functioning strongly depend on soil type and can be partly alleviated by plant diversity. In sandy soils, diverse plant communities buffered functional losses under plastic stress, whereas in clayey soils the benefits of diversity were suppressed.

Ecological Drivers of Microbiota Diversity in the Pharmacophagous Turnip Sawfly
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.We show that both nutritional (host‐plant diet, starvation) and non‐nutritional (pharmacophagy) plant use independently shape microbiota diversity, composition and predicted function in Athalia rosae. Pharmacophagy via clerodanoid uptake altered microbial communities and enriched metabolic pathways linked to plant compound degradation. Wild individuals
